<p>A process of producing a sintered compact comprises filling a cup with a powdered material to be sintered, putting on an opening of the cup a covering member consisting of a lid and solder so as to permit ventilation between the interior and exterior of the cup to form a cup assembly, applying heat as well as vacuum to the cup assembly to degas the powdered material, melting the solder by the continuation of heating to air-tightly seal the cup with the lid to obtain a closed cup compressible under high pressure at high temperature while maintaining the airtight seal, and hot-pressing the closed cup to obtain a sintered compact. The covering member may include a porous lid closing the cup and a solder put on the porous lid.</p> |
