The construction of mechanism maps for hot-isostatic pressing is described. Maps are constructed for a number of materials of commercial and scientific interest: a tool steel, a superalloy, Al2O3, and ice. They allow the processes involved in hot-isostatic pressing to be examined, and suggest ways of picking optimum combinations of pressure, temperature, and time to give maximum density.
