Pioneer of hot isostatic processing (HIP) retires after 40 years

摘要

Throughout this expansion into new fields, Widmer's extensive knowledge of the behavior of materials at high pressure and temperature made him a major contributor to pushing back the accepted boundaries of the technology. In May of this year, the International HIP Committee honored Widmer at its 6th International Conference with an award which recognized his "significant contributions to the science, technology, and commercial application of hot isostatic processing." This recognition from his peers from around the world caps a long and distinguished career as a valued and respected leader in the industry and the wider world of materials development.
