From March 22 to 24, 2023, the 2nd Commercial Heat Treatment Conference|The First Hot Isostatic Pressing User Conference was successfully held in Suzhou, China. The conference has more than 300 representatives from more than 160 enterprises attending the conference, and nearly 20 speakers from the hot isostatic pressing service market have delivered relevant reports, including hot isostatic pressing, surface treatment, powder metallurgy, vacuum heat treatment, additive manufacturing, automotive parts heat treatment, large forging heat treatment, mold heat treatment, plasma nitriding, digital factory, etc., focusing on the advanced technology capabilities and vigorous development of the domestic heat treatment industry.

Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) originated in the 50s of the 20th century, is a special heat treatment process to improve the mechanical properties of materials, and has been widely used in aerospace, gas turbines, oil, nuclear power and other high value-added markets. Foreign application of hot isostatic pressing technology is earlier, and has a relatively complete process flow standard. Although China started late, with the rapid development of the economic level, hot isostatic pressing technology is in the stage of rapid application and popularization in China, and the gap with foreign advanced levels is gradually narrowing. At present, the market field of hot isostatic pressing market has developed rapidly, and the market has continued to expand in recent years, and has made achievements in many fields such as consumer electronics, medical treatment, electronic semiconductors, transportation, and new ceramic materials.
