摘要

The centres in European NATO countries that are currently active in advanced powder metallurgical investigations on aerospace materials are identified and the extent and nature of those activities is summarised. The report concentrates on the various hot consolidation techniques currently under investigation for the fabrication of titanium and nickel alloys for application in high-integrity, highly stressed aero-engine components. The present 'state of the art' in this field is evaluated and recommendations made relevant to the preparation of the forthcoming Specialists 'Meeting on ' Advanced Fabrication Techniques in Powder Metallurgy and their Economic Implications.
