In manufacturing sintered bodies, a compacted charge of powder forming a billet is enclosed in a sealed casing of soft metal such as steel from which the air has been evacuated. The casing and powder are subjected to pressure at high temperature in a furnace chamber to sinter the powder. Before its introduction into the chamber, the charge is heated outside the furnace to treating temperature. The charge is inserted from below into the furnace, after which the bottom opening of the furnace is closed and pressure medium is introduced. The furnace has an insulating sheath within the furnace chamber depending from the top of the chamber and terminating near its bottom. The material of the casing is so chosen that there will be substantially no interchange of material especially of carbon, with the material of the compacted billet.
