Abstract

Successful hot isostatic pressing of metal or intermetallic powders requires that the product meet many goals with respect to shape, density, microstructure, and cost. The development of sensors that can detect sample characteristics during HIP consolidation and process models that can predict how the sample characteristics will respond to changes in environment raises the possibility of active control based on these
