Abstract
Hot isostatic pressing (HIPping) is now becoming a more widely accepted technique for many aspects of materials processing. Two of the most important applications are for the consolidation of powders to near-net-shape and the removal of internal defects such as porosity in castings or creep cavities in high temperature components. The application of HIPping to these two areas is reviewed with particular attention given to the development of predictive models for the consolidation processes.
