Abstract
A component is manufactured from a powdered material such as a titanium alloy, by performing a first hot isostatic pressing HIP operation on the powdered materialwhile the powdered material is in contact with a molding surfaceof a rigid, usable molding tool. The first HIP operation creates a non-porous shaped surfaceon a partially consolidated component, but avoids bonding or reaction between the partially consolidated componentand the molding tool. After separation of the partially consolidated componentfrom the molding tool, the partially consolidated componentis subjected to a second HIP operation in which the powdered material is fully consolidated.
