The UEC-UMPO - Ufa Engine-building Production Association is launching unique equipment. The hot isostatic press, model GIP 2200, is the largest in Russia and one of the largest in the world.
"This is a complex that was created in the country for the first time. In its class, in terms of size and characteristics, it is the third gasostat in the world. There are four of them in total, along with ours. These are Sweden, the USA, Japan and Ufa," Viktor Klochai, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Ruspolimet, tells reporters.
The start of the installation is given by the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia Anton Alikhanov. The created section of hot isostatic pressing will reduce the production time of engines for domestic passenger aircraft. In the new workshop, gas-stabilization of titanium and aluminum castings of aircraft engine body parts will be performed around the clock.
