This review is an attempt to summarize the state of research and development in Europe into powder metallurgy of superalloys, and to ascertain which areas of the technology still require attention before the promised advantages of the powder metallurgy route are achieved. Although 'superalloys' are normally taken to be those alloys whose bases are nickel or cobalt, the present review deals with materials which are currently in prospect of production by powder metallurgy and which find use in the hot parts of aeroturbines. Thus it includes an account of some ferritic materials and some titanium alloys. The review deals with disc and blade alloys and discusses powder production, consolidation and the relationships between processing, structure and the final properties of powder alloys. (Author).
