Abstract
A method of making pipes by powder metallurgy, in which powder of metal and/or metal alloys (17) is filled into a thin-walled casing consisting of inner pipe wall (12), outer pipe wall (11) and a bottom (13), subsequently the casing is closed on its side remote from the bottom (13) by an annular cover (14) and is subjected to a cold-isostatic pressure whereby the powder (17) is compacted within the casing to produce a solid or dimensionally stable pipe blank or compact (10), which is then hot-worked, e.g. extruded. In order to prevent thermal cracks on the inner pipe or inner pipe wall (12), especially in the region of the ends thereof, the inner pipe or inner pipe wall (12) is provided prior to hot-working on at least one end region thereof with at least one circumferentially extending bulge (15 or 16, respectively).
