Shaping Industry

Proxima’s PM-HIP technology enables the manufacture of primary aerostructures avoiding many of the limitations of forgings and castings. Buy-to-fly ratios can be minimised while maintaining design freedom and the highest standards of quality and reliability.

Proxima’s PM-HIP process creates near-net-shaped components, without part-specific tooling, resulting in lower buy-to-fly ratios and shorter lead-times. Enhanced material properties enable a range of components to be created quickly, even for complex components for static and fatigue primary structures.

Proxima’s PM-HIP technology enables the rapid development of advanced armour and structural components for military platforms. By substituting heavier steel components with titanium (light-weighting) Proxima delivers industry-leading survivability enhancing lethality without compromising durability or performance.

Proxima’s PM-HIP technology and manufacturing capabilities allows for optimised geometries and material properties, enhancing efficiency in demanding environments such as aero engines and other advanced propulsion systems.

Proxima delivers high-performance components for naval applications, for both surface and below surface platforms, engineered to perform in the most demanding marine environments.
By using PM-HIP advanced materials and near-net shape manufacturing, Proxima produces corrosion-resistant, high-strength parts that improve reliability and reduce maintenance demands to extend service life in critical maritime operations.

Proxima’s PM-HIP technology can produce corrosion-resistant parts in nickel alloys and super-duplex stainless steels for demanding applications requiring the highest-performing components. This enables manufacture of one-off components quickly, ideal for R&D or for urgent replacement when the extended lead-times for forgings or cast parts could be prohibitive.
