CIP(Cold Isostatic Press)

Cold isostatic press (CIP), as the word means, is a machine providing unilateral pressure to all directions to products that need to be formed by using fluid. For example, following the 1st forming process such as ceramic or metal powder, it is put into the flexible mold and finally formed by high pressure activated by fluid or liquid inside of pressure vessel. By doing this, final products formed by above process shall have uniform density since the pressure being applied to product will be the same from all directions. For instance, looking back conventional forming method by loading pressure along with 1 or 2 axial directions, there exists irregular internal density inside of formed products, thus will have internal crack or inferior durability. Because of these problems, CIP has been used to as a solution to manufacture high impact components in the fields of aerospace, electric power, military industries and semiconductor since 10 years ago.
