Abstract (en)

A component comprising at least two different iron-based compositions in different regions of the component, including a first iron-based composition comprising 11.0-15.0 wt% chromium; 1.0-4.0 wt% nickel; 5.0-8.0 wt% cobalt; and iron. The first iron-based composition may also comprise 2.0-6.0 wt% copper, 4.0-7.0 wt% molybdenum and one or more of niobium, manganese, silicon, and phosphorous. The component may be a compressor aerofoil for a gas turbine. A metal injection moulding method for forming a component and an apparatus for carrying out said method are also provided. The composition of the component and/or the method and apparatus may provide a reduction in delta ferrite formation in the component and an improvement in mechanical properties of the component, particularly in relation to compressor aerofoils.
