Abstract (en)

Components produced by powder metallurgy techniques are described herein. Embodiments of these components have little or no porosity therein after processing. Embodiments of these components are created by creating a preform from a powder; creating a component from the preform; heat treating the component to create a predetermined microstructure therein; and then hot isostatic pressing the heat treated component to reduce any porosity therein. The components can then be machined to their final dimensions, if necessary.
