Surface Problem of Metal Component

problem solving

For many years a component had been produced in Europe and for cost reasons this production had been shifted to China. Suddenly the component surface showed bad as if the component was used for tens of years although the same material was used. The company had done several test and noticed some small changes in the production process but this could not explain the change. Also two top research institutes had studied the problem already for two months without any success. An very experienced HIP expert was able to point to the problem just by looking closely to the products within an hour. Now he is implementing the necessary actions.

Production of Building Components

innovation

For many years a company is producing concrete polyester parts for the building industry. The production is relative simple but aggressive non environmental friendly liquids have to be used to regularly clean the moulds. The moulds itself give also a problem in releasing complex parts. An experienced HIP expert will make an inventory of the requirements and possibilities within the company, but is confident that with his deep knowledge on plastics and his experience he will be able to provide a solution. The work will be done in close cooperation with the engineers to train them for future.

Concept Solutions

problem solving

Half a year a solution is looked for to make a system again competitive on the market. Many solutions has been looked at but no breakthrough had been found. A team of HIP experts has held a workshop in which the degrees of freedom have defined. At that moment only a few could be accepted by the commercial department. However the conclusion was that the company should have done this earlier. Some additional potential solutions had been generated to let the company move forward.
