Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1604760A1] A method of manufacturing a component (10,20) by consolidating a metal powder comprises preparing a metal powder, the metal powder comprising metal particles (30). Depositing a coating (32) containing at least one element on the surfaces (34) of the metal particles (30) of the metal powder. Applying heat and pressure to consolidate the metal particles (30) such that the at least one element of the coating (32) on the surfaces (34) of the metal particles (30) partially diffuses into the metal particles (30) and the coated metal particles (30) are diffusion bonded together to form a cellular structure (36).
