The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a solid metal based component. The method comprising the steps of providing a plurality of metal based sheets; arranging the plurality of metal based sheets in a stack, 5 wherein the stack comprises a first metal based sheet, a last metal based sheet and at least one intermediate metal based sheet; perimetrically sealing at least a portion of the stack forming at least one cavity inside of the stack; removing gas from said at least one cavity, and subjecting the stack to a hot isostatic pressing process for a predetermined time at a predetermined 10 pressure and a predetermined temperature so that the plurality of metal based sheets of the stack bond metallurgically to each other to form a solid metal based component. The invention further relates to a single-piece metal based component.
