Avure Technologies, Västerås, Sweden, a manufacturer of ultrahigh-pressure systems, will supply a Quintus® hot isostatic press to Alcoa Howmet, a Cleveland-based fabricator of components for the jet aircraft and gas turbine industries.

The model QIH286 press will be equipped with the company’s patented uniform rapid cooling technology, enabling increased productivity with optimal temperature control, says the company. The press operates at a pressure of 29,000 PSI and a temperature of 2,282 degrees F. Its 5.25-ft.-dia., 8.5-ft.-high work zone will expand the fabricator’s in-house capabilities to treat larger parts.
