Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) is a post-processing technique used to reduce internal voids and improve the density of metal components. In simple terms, it’s the process of applying high isostatic pressure and elevated temperature simultaneously in a sealed pressure vessel, usually filled with an inert gas such as argon, or in a vacuum.

The Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) in stainless steel refers to the portion of the material adjacent to the welding or heated region that undergoes structural and property changes due to the heat.
