Abstract

An object of ceramic or metallic material is manufactured by isostatic pressing of a body preformed from a powder of the metallic or ceramic material, the preformed body (10) then being embedded in glass, for example in a mass of glass particles (16) in a vessel (15) which is resistant to the temperature at which the sintering of the metallic or ceramic material is carried out, the material embedding the preformed body being transferred to a melt having a surface limited by the walls of the vessel, below which surface the preformed body is located, and a pressure necessary for the isostatic pressing of the preformed body then being applied on the melt by a gaseous pressure medium.
