Hot pressing is a process used to fabricate ceramic parts (often from non-oxide powders like BIN, SiC or B4C). The process involves the simultaneous application of pressure and heat to a 'green' component or powder under a controlled atmosphere (depending on the material being processed). Since pressure is applied directly the shape of parts is limited to those that will release from the mold face along a single axis.
