Powder metallurgy

Does anyone have any experience of near-net shape valve bodies produced by Hot Isostatic Pressed (HIP) metal powders?

The following abstract states that approval has been obtained from ASTM and API: linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S1006706X08600643

valvehowker,
I'm not aware of full "HIPped" bodies still, but maybe this webpage results interesting:
