Abstract
Provided is a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) device () that can efficiently cool a hot zone during HIP processing while restraining temperatures in the lower part of a high-pressure container. This HIP device () is provided with the following: gas-impermeable casings () that surround an object to be processed (W); a heating unit () that is disposed inside these casings and forms a hot zone around the object to be processed (W); a high-pressure container (); and a cooling unit that guides a pressure-medium gas cooled on the outside of the casings into the hot zone to cool the hot zone. The cooling unit comprises the following: a gas introduction unit that introduces the pressure-medium gas that has been cooled on the outside of the casings () into the hot zone; and a cooling promotion unit () that cools the pressure medium gas by causing the pressure-medium gas that has been cooled on the outside of the casings to exchange heat with a base () of the high-pressure container ().
