Abstract
The technique of isostatic hot-pressing and its uses are briefly considered and an account is given of practical experience in the commissioning and operation of an installation of moderate size. The main problems encountered were those of temperature control and uniformity in the furnace in the high-pressure gas; these were overcome by the use of furnaces of special but simple design, yielding excellent control. The principles of this design are described and some performance figures cited.
