Abstract
Hot isostatic pressing can be considered a rather new form of technology, even though it was first applied in the mid 1950S. During the past 10 years, however, a large increase in the number of applications has occurred. Equipment design has also evolved greatly. It can be said that hot isostatic pressing has become a generally accepted production technique and with the current state of the available equipment it offers a reliable and advantageous process for many applications. This paper examines some of the components of this process, the applications of which will surely increase as a result or constant developments in equipment design and extensive research in the PM field in general.
