Developments in hot pressing (HP) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) of ceramic matrix composites

Abstract: This chapter introduces the hot pressing (HP) and hot isostatic pressing (HIP) methods and their application to produce advanced ceramics. Typical oxides, carbides, borides and nitrides are selected to describe the synthesis process. The conclusion is that HP and HIP are good technologies for fabricating dense or single-phase ceramics. Their advantages, disadvantages and future improvements are discussed.
