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. |
