Abstract
A method of forming dense articles from metal or metal alloy powders by friction forming. A self supporting shaped deposit of powder is formed on a substrate. Relative movement is established between the shaped deposit and a friction forming tool. The forming end of the friction tool is urged into compressive contact with the shaped deposit so as to generate an amount of heat sufficient to plasticize the deposit and thereby form a dense article. The steps may be repeated to built up the article to any pre-desired thickness. The substrate may be removed to establish a free standing coherent article, or the article may be left tightly bonded to the substrate. The article is very uniform in both thickness and composition, and enjoys substantially full density and a very fine microstructure.
