Monolithic molybdenum disilicide (MoSi[sub 2]) powder and MoSi[sub 2] powders blended with ductile and brittle reinforcements were consolidated by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). The extent of densification of the consolidated samples as a function of temperature, pressure and time was determined by precision density measurements. HIP diagrams were constructed based on theoretical models. Material properties, required as input for the HIP map software, were compiled or extrapolated from published literature, experimentally determined and in some cases were estimated from the rule of mixtures. The model predictions were compared with experimental data and dominant mechanisms of densification were identified.
