The invention provides a method for forming components, such as cam-rings, having improved load bearing capacities. By using a thixoformable material, introducing it to a die (1) of the desired configuration and machining the article (6), a surface having a grain structure substantially normally aligned relative to the surface can be produced. The alignment of the grains gives enhanced load bearing capabilities.
