Fully dense, bulk Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 1.7}CaCu{sub 2}O{sub x} (2212) superconductor pellets were made by hot isostatic pressing in an inert atmosphere. Electron microscopy revealed that rotation and bending of the platelike 2212 grains were responsible for much of the densification. Under processing conditions of 825{degrees}C and 105 MPa, dense pellets were obtained in 15 min. Many dislocations, planar faults, and, perhaps, intergrowths of the Bi{sub 2}Sr{sub 2}CuO{sub x} phase were produced during pressing. The dislocations were largely present in subgrain boundaries when the pressing times were increased to 45--120 min.
