Hot isostatic pressing of the high-T/sub c/ superconductor YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7-{delta}/ can lead to loss of oxygen and transformation of the material from the high-T/sub c/ orthorhombic phase to the nonsuperconducting tetragonal phase. It is shown that glass encapsulation helps retain the orthorhombic structure, whereas steel encapsulation resulted in formation of the tetragonal phase. Reasons for this phenomenon are discussed. The equilibrium oxygen gas pressure for the oxygen decomposition reaction in YBa/sub 2/Cu/sub 3/O/sub 7/, however, prevents full densification of this material in glass when employing hot isostatic pressing conditions of 200 MPa and 845{sup 0}C.
