Abstract
In the manufacture of an object of a powdered material by isostatic pressing of a body (10) preformed from the powdered material with a gaseous pressure medium, the preformed body is provided with a casing (13) of glass which is made gas-impenetrable by heating before carrying out the isostatic pressing. Inside the glass casing there is arranged on the preformed body an intermediate layer (12) which counteracts the penetration of molten glass from the casing into the preformed body. The intermediate layer comprises a layer of one or more intermediate phases in the system Al.sub.2 O.sub.3 --SiO.sub.2, for example mullite 3Al.sub.2 O.sub.3.2SiO.sub.2, or a layer containing one or more such intermediate phases as main constituent. In a preferred embodiment a layer of boron nitride is arranged inside the intermediate layer. In a preferred embodiment, the powdered object consists of aluminium oxide or an aluminium oxide-based ceramic.
