Anhui Yingliu Group installs Quintus Hot Isostatic Press
December 21, 2015
Jan Söderström, CEO of Quintus Technologies (formerly Avure Technologies), joined Frank Du, President of China’s Yingliu Group, to celebrate the inauguration of a Quintus® Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) at the Anhui Yingliu Group Huoshan Casting Co. Ltd. foundry in Anhui province, China, in early December 2015.
The new HIP is world’s largest in its pressure and temperature class. The new press, model QIH 1.6 x 2.5 – 2000 – 1400M URC, brings several advanced capabilities that enable the Huoshan facility to manufacture products meeting mission-critical performance standards in the aerospace and nuclear power environments.
Operating at a pressure of 200 MPA and temperatures up to 1400°C, the Quintus HIP produces complex components with improved fatigue strength and extended service life, ever-more-important characteristics that are difficult to achieve in traditional manufacturing technology.
“Quintus HIP systems produce parts with excellent isotropic material properties and offer the highest possible density of all available compaction methods,” stated Jan Söderström, CEO of Quintus Technologies.
The event was attended by more than 500 guests, including representatives from prominent Chinese companies in the aviation and nuclear power industries.
