An eddy current sensor based intelligent processing system designed to monitor consolidation powdered metal compacts has been implemented at Crucible Research, Inc. In this work an eddy current sensor measurement system was used to track the consolidation of nickel-based superalloy and tool steel powders. The system enabled the HIP process engineer to interactively control pressure and temperature profile while observing the real-time density rate. The primary features of this system are automated in-HIP sensor calibration, sensor thermal compensation, reproducible density measurement and computer data acquisition for real-time graphical display, process control, and recording for post process analysis and process model optimization. This work has demonstrated that the application of an intelligent system for HIPing provides the process engineer with a tool for rapid process improvement.
