Material Densification

Material densification is a critical process for many manufacturing and materials processing applications. By using high-pressure techniques, materials such as metals, ceramics, and composites can be compressed to higher densities, resulting in increased mechanical properties and performance.

Sheet Metal Forming

Flexform™, also called fluid cell forming, is a low-cost sheet metal forming process designed for both prototyping and lower volume parts production.

Battery Processing Systems

All-solid-state battery (ASSB) technology has been under development for years, offering significant improvements in safety, charging times, and energy density. Quintus has been at the forefront of this innovation, providing advanced isostatic pressing solutions to support all-solid-state battery production from the lab to full-scale manufacturing.

High Pressure Processing

Quintus Technologies’ High Pressure Processing (HPP) is a natural, scientifically validated technology for food preservation. HPP delivers food safety benefits, extends shelf life, and maintains flavor, freshness, and nutrients. It uses ultra-high pressure instead of high temperatures or preservatives to inactivate foodborne pathogens, reduce waste, and deliver natural, nutritious products.

Advanced Cooling Capabilities in HIP Processing

Modern Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) systems allow precise cooling control to optimize microstructures, reduce distortion, and combine densification with heat treatment in a single cycle.

High-performance cooling for demanding HIP applications

Advanced cooling capabilities from Quintus Technologies enable precise control of cooling rates directly inside the HIP pressure vessel. Patented technologies such as Uniform Rapid Cooling and Uniform Rapid Quenching allow manufacturers to reduce distortion, control microstructure development, and combine densification with heat treatment in a single cycle, delivering higher productivity and reliable component performance.

168网开奖查询记录结果: Uniform Rapid Cooling (URC®)

URC enables controlled and uniform cooling of components directly inside the HIP vessel. By adjusting cooling rates during the cycle, manufacturers can tailor material properties while maintaining excellent temperature uniformity throughout the load.

Uniform Rapid Quenching (URQ®)

URQ provides fast gas quenching under high pressure, enabling rapid cooling after densification and solutionizing of alloys that requires high cooling rates for supersaturation before precipitation. This allows complete heat treatment cycles to be performed inside the HIP system while minimizing distortion compared to conventional quenching methods.

168网开奖查询记录结果: Steered Cooling™

Steered Cooling allows operators to dynamically adjust cooling rates during the HIP cycle. This precise control enables optimization of microstructure development, precipitation behavior, and mechanical properties for advanced material systems.

Integrated Heat Treatment

HIP cooling capabilities enable the combination of densification and heat treatment in a single process. By controlling cooling rates directly after HIP processing, manufacturers can reduce processing steps, improve efficiency, and enhance component quality.

FAQ

Uniform Rapid Cooling, URC®, is a Quintus invention which enables uniform cooling of the payload. Forced convection of high temperature and high pressure gas over a heat sink enables controllable cooling of the gas. URC® is used for metals as well as ceramic materials, to increase productivity and heat treat parts.

Uniform Rapid Quenching, URQ®, is a Quintus invention which enables high speed quenching of the payload, at similar cooling rates to gas quenching. Cold gas in the HIP is exchanged with the hot gas in the furnace at a very high rate, effectively quenching the payload in a uniform way with minimal induced stress.

HPHTᵀᴹ is short for High Pressure Heat Treatment. It includes capabilities for integrating different heat treatment strategies within the HIP process.The main features include

Latest generation of temperature control and high steered cooling rates of the URC®
Minimum distortion gas quenching feature of the URQ®
Steered Cooling™
Quintus Purus®

The basis for these is the ability to control and steer the high-pressure gas in the vessel and furnace.

The different capabilities of HPHTᵀᴹ are features developed for controlling the high-pressurized gas inside the pressure vessel. Having this capability enables us to steer the temperature and temperature change rate the components are subjected to, making accurate process control and heat treatments strategies possible.HPHTᵀᴹ makes up of different features within Quintus HIP. Its capabilities are to optimize densification, heat treatment, and general processes. It’s done by controlling and steering high-pressure gas.

Quintus Purus is a capability developed to ensure the cleanest possible atmosphere during the HIP cycle. Its purpose is to reduce the risk of oxidation and oxygen uptake in component surfaces. It has proven vital for avoiding, e.g., alpha case on titanium alloys used in medical implants.

Most standard heat treatment processes for metals and ceramics, using temperature and temperature change rate, can be performed in the HIP vessel. In addition to the traditional pressureless heat treatments, the MPa pressure of the HIP process can be used both for altering the kinetics of the process and for more precise control of temperature uniformity and temperature change rates.
