Powder metallurgy encompasses the compaction and sintering of metallic powders — including titanium, nickel superalloys, and refractory metals — to produce near-net-shape aerospace structural and engine components, employing processes such as hot isostatic pressing (HIP), metal injection moulding (MIM), and spark plasma sintering (SPS) to achieve controlled porosity, density, and microstructural integrity.
