However, AM implants require post-processing to eliminate internal porosity and ensure long-term fatigue performance. Traditional hot isostatic pressing (HIP) can introduce oxygen contamination that forms a brittle alpha-case layer on titanium surfaces, compromising performance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This article explains how <a href=\"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/products\/material-densification\/hot-isostatic-presses\/high-pressure-heat-treatment\/quintus-purus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quintus Purus\u00ae<\/a> clean HIP technology eliminates alpha-case formation by actively controlling water vapor and oxygen-bearing species in the HIP atmosphere before processing begins. The approach removes the need for component wrapping, preserving surface integrity even on thin-walled and porous AM implants while improving loading efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n<p>The article also highlights how <a href=\"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/products\/material-densification\/hot-isostatic-presses\/high-pressure-heat-treatment\/cooling-capabilities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uniform Rapid Cooling (URC\u00ae)<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/products\/material-densification\/hot-isostatic-presses\/high-pressure-heat-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">High-Pressure Heat Treatment (HPHT\u2122)<\/a> enable faster cycle times and process consolidation, supporting lean, high-volume production of high-quality additively manufactured medical implants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":43518,"menu_order":0,"template":"","knowledge-center_materials":[182],"knowledge-center_processes":[147,487],"knowledge-center_language":[135],"knowledge-center_type":[486],"knowledge-center_industry":[126],"knowledge-center_topic":[112],"class_list":["post-43516","knowledge-center","type-knowledge-center","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","knowledge-center_materials-titanium-alloy","knowledge-center_processes-additive-manufacturing","knowledge-center_processes-hip-heat-treatment","knowledge-center_language-english","knowledge-center_type-technical-publication","knowledge-center_industry-medical","knowledge-center_topic-material-densification"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center\/43516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/knowledge-center"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43518"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"knowledge-center_materials","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center_materials?post=43516"},{"taxonomy":"knowledge-center_processes","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center_processes?post=43516"},{"taxonomy":"knowledge-center_language","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center_language?post=43516"},{"taxonomy":"knowledge-center_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center_type?post=43516"},{"taxonomy":"knowledge-center_industry","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center_industry?post=43516"},{"taxonomy":"knowledge-center_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cn.quintustechnologies.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/knowledge-center_topic?post=43516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
