In cold isostatic pressing (CIP) the metal powder is placed in a flexible mould made of rubber or Urethane or PVC. The assembly is then pressurized hydrostatically in a chamber usually using water. Pressures of 400 to 1000MPa are used.
Cold Isostatic Pressing
This type of operation is used for compaction of powders. The process is similar to pressing using cupped hands for making snow balls.

Cold Isostatic Pressing
The powder is enclosed in flexible container around a solid core rod. Pressure is applied isostatically to the assembly inside a high pressure chamber. The powder gets compacted and the green compact is taken out and sintered.
