“…However, these modifications lead to strong segregation in the cast ingots and to a dramatic reduction in formability by forging. According to this, nowadays, a powder metallurgy route called near net shape hot isostatic pressing or (HIPping) is considered very promising to manufacture parts made of those Ni superalloys that are difficult to forge [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. This procedure offers a reduction of machining operations and of raw material consumption concerning forging with a consequent reduction of buy to fly ratio as demonstrated by Bassini et al in [18].…”
