Abstract (en)

A method of forging a nickel base superalloy comprising providing a nickel base superalloy preform (40) with a first predetermined shape, the nickel base superalloy preform having been produced by powder metallurgy. The nickel base superalloy preform (40) is forged to produce a nickel base superalloy forged component (50) with a second predetermined shape. The first predetermined shape and the second predetermined shape are arranged such that the effective strain at the end of the forging is less than 1. The nickel base superalloy forged component (50) is given a supersolvus heat treatment to produce a large grain size in the nickel base superalloy forged component (50).
