Metal component forming is shown, in which heat is applied to a mould containing a metal in particulate form. The mould containing metal particles is placed in a sealed vessel. The temperature inside the vessel is increased to a first temperature range above the liquidus temperature of the metal during a temperature-raising interval (604). The temperature of the vessel is maintained during a temperature-maintaining interval (605). The temperature of the vessel is then reduced during a temperature-falling interval (606). |
