大都份粉末冶金的前缘技术都和热等静压成型技术有关。技术开发的范围是从用于喷气发动机零件的超级合金热等静压工艺到烧结和热等静压相结合的新技术。整个工业的面貌是健康的。粉末冶金工业联盟(MPIF)概括了这样的前景,在未来一些年中,粉末冶金将在全世界的汽车、计算机设备、仪器仪表、生理医疗设备以及航空、航天的高性能产品中找到广泛的应用。 柯尔特(Colt)工业公司下属的坩埚挤压金属研究组织在关于热等静压技术的应用 Most of the leading edge powder metallurgy and hot isostatic pressing technology. The range of technological developments is from the new technology of superalloy hot isostatic pressing for jet engine parts to the combination of sintering and hot isostatic pressing. The whole industry is healthy. The Powder Metallurgy Industry Federation (MPIF) outlines the prospects for powder metallurgy to find widespread use in high-performance products in the automotive, computer equipment, instrumentation, physiotherapy, and aerospace industries throughout the world in the coming years . Crucible Crush Metal Research Group, a subsidiary of Colt Industries, Inc., is using the technology for hot isostatic pressing
