Inert gas atomized (IGA) superalloy Inconel 625 powder was consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIPing) directly under the HIPing parameters of 1100°C/110MPa/3h. The structure and properties of the as–HIPed samples were investigated using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and tensile tests at room temperature, and its relative density was measured by drainage. The fracture surface morphology of the tensile specimens have been investigated using SEM. The results showed that full density alloy can be obtained under the HIPing parameters of 1100°C/110MPa/3h. Due to the effect of prior particle boundaries (PPBs), the strength of the as-HIPed alloy is comparatively high, but its ductibility is comparatively low.

The hot isostatic pressing (HIP) technology is considered on the example of making of compacts made of VZh159 powder. It is shown that powders with fractional composition of –70 +25 µm, bulk density of 3.77 g/cm3 , fl uidity of 2.3 g/s, specifi c surface of 446 cm2 /g, and average Fischer particle size of 16 µm are prone to sorbed gases. Gases on the surface of the powder body as result of the HIP cycle can form non-metallic inclusions that reduce the properties of the compact. To effectively remove gases, vacuum heat treatment is used: degassing. It is established that the structure of HIP-compacts after two- or four-stage ageing has fi ner grain (point 9) compared to the cast alloy (point 7).The mechanical properties of the compacts obtained made of VZh159 power exceed the correspointing requirements of the standard process documentation for ultimate strength by 21...22 % and elongation by 36...45 %.

Pre-alloyed Ti6Al4V powder produced by plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) was consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP) under the parameters of 930°C/100MPa/3h. The microstructure is analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The tensile property is measured at room temperature, the fracture surface morphology of the tensile specimens was investigated using SEM as well. The results show that the dense body has homogeneous microstructure and fine grain size. The average values of ultimate tensile strength (UTS), yield strength (YS) and elongation (EL) are 1119 MPa, 1043 MPa and 18% respectively. The fracture of specimen presents ductile fracture.

The HIP post-processing step is required for developing next generation of advanced powder metallurgy titanium alloys for orthopedic and dental applications. The influence of the hot isostatic pressing (HIP) post-processing step on structural and phase changes, porosity healing, and mechanical strength in a powder metallurgy Ti35Nb2Sn alloy was studied. Powders were pressed at room temperature at 750 MPa, and then sintered at 1350 °C in a vacuum for 3 h. The standard HIP process at 1200 °C and 150 MPa for 3 h was performed to study its effect on a Ti35Nb2Sn powder metallurgy alloy. The influence of the HIP process and cold rate on the density, microstructure, quantity of interstitial elements, mechanical strength, and Young’s modulus was investigated. HIP post-processing for 2 h at 1200 °C and 150 MPa led to greater porosity reduction and a marked retention of the β phase at room temperature. The slow cooling rate during the HIP process affected phase stability, with a large amount of α”-phase precipitate, which decreased the titanium alloy’s yield strength.

In this research, alkaline niobate known as K0.5Na0.5NbO3 (KNN) lead-free piezoelectric ceramic was synthesis by solid state reaction method which pressing at different sintering temperatures (1000 °C and 1080 °C) prepared via hot isostatic pressing (HIP)). The effect of sintering temperature on structure and dielectric properties was studied. The optimum sintering temperature (at 1080 °C for 30 minutes) using hot isostatic pressing (HIP) was successfully increase the density, enlarge the particle grain size in the range of 0.3 µm – 2.5 µm and improves the dielectric properties of K0.5Na0.5NbO3 ceramics. The larger grain size and higher density ceramics body will contribute the good dielectric properties. At room temperature, the excellent relative permittivity and tangent loss recorded at 1 MHz (ɛr = 5517.35 and tan δ = 0.954), respectively for KNN1080HIP sample. The KNN1080HIP sample is also exhibits highest relative density which is 4.485 g/cm3. The ɛr depends upon density and in this work, the density increase as the sintering temperature increase, which resulting the corresponding ɛr value also increases.

Nanophase TiAl, with grain sizes in the range of 10–20 nm, was synthesized by magnetron sputtering in an inert gas atmosphere and consolidated, in situ, under vacuum. The properties of the powders and sintered compacts were studied by transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, calorimetry, Rutherford backscattering, and x-ray diffraction. Samples compacted at 1.0 GPa at room temperature had a large fraction of amorphous phase, while samples compacted at the same pressure and 250 °C were predominantly the equilibrium γ phase. An enthalpy change of 22 kJ/g-atom was measured during a DSC scan over the temperature range 125–450 °C, which is approximately the range over which crystallization occurs. Nearly full density could be achieved by sintering at 450 °C without significant, concomitant grain growth. The Vickers microhardness of these samples at room temperature and at −30 °C revealed an inverse Hall–Petch relationship at small grain sizes, 10–30 nm, and the usual Hall–Petch behavior at larger grain sizes. A small component of indentation creep was also observed. The maximum hardness is 4 times larger than that of a cast TiAl specimen of the same composition. The Vickers hardness was also observed to decrease rapidly with temperature above 200 °C.

The influence of grain size and density of yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZPs) ceramics on mechanical properties and on low-temperature aging degradation (LTD) in air and in hot water was investigated. A TZP powder containing 3 mol% Y2O3 was consolidated by slip casting and densified by the sintering/hot isostatic pressing (HIP) method. Only the presintered samples that contained less than 0.15% open porosity reached near full density after HIP. The best conditions to reach full density were found to be attained by presintering and HIP both at 1400 °C. At these conditions, some of the best mechanical properties such as modulus of rupture and Weibull modulus reached 1397 ± 153 MPa and, 10.6, respectively. These values were clearly higher than those obtained from sintered bodies and samples hot isostatically pressed at 1600 °C. Aging degradation of 3Y-TZP materials can be avoided through microstructural design. Fully dense materials with a critical grain size <0.36 μm did not show any evidence of degradation after extreme aging conditions at pressurized autoclaving in hot water at 100, 200, and 260 °C for 8 h. We propose a criterion to predict degradation in air as well as in hot water for the characterized materials based on the microstructure and density control of the samples.
