Abstract
A method and apparatus for thermally isostatically densifying a sample, including placing the sample to be densified into a pressure vessel filled with a thermally expansive pressurizing medium with the medium intermediate the vessel and sample; and varying the thermal energy of the medium to cause it to expand and exert increased pressure to densify the sample.
