OverviewNear-Net Shape P/M This article describes the fabrication of near-net shapes from powders using the hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) process. The characteristics of typical HIPing systems, advantages and disadvantages of the process with respect to near-net-shape production, and particular processing concerns are discussed. Examples of current state-of-the-art powder-metallurgy near-net shapes are provided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
