Abstract
A method for manufacturing billets intended to be subsequently machined into a desired shape by plastic deformation, as by rolling, includes the heating to a predetermined bonding temperature of powder grains enclosed in a capsule, and subjecting the capsule at the bonding temperature to a high pressure sufficient to bond the powder grains together to form a substantially solid body. The capsule is inserted at the bonding temperature into an over-sized forming cavity of a press which includes relatively movable punches, the capsule being completely surrounded within the press by a layer of heat-insulating and pressure-transmitting solid material, such as talc or the like. Thus, when the capsule is subjected to the high pressure upon operation of the press, such material serves as a pressure-transmitting medium through which pressure is applied completely against all sides of the capsule.
