A method of manufacturing a component ( 10,20 ) by consolidating a metal powder comprises preparing a metal powder, the metal powder comprising metal particles ( 30 ). Depositing a coating ( 32 ) containing at least one element on the surfaces ( 34 ) of the metal particles ( 30 ) of the metal powder. Applying heat and pressure to consolidate the metal particles ( 30 ) such that the at least one element of the coating ( 32 ) on the surfaces ( 34 ) of the metal particles ( 30 ) partially diffuses into the metal particles ( 30 ) and the coated metal particles ( 30 ) are diffusion bonded together to form a cellular structure ( 36 ).
