Abstract

A powder metallurgical method of consolidating iron-based alloy powder, particularly white cast iron, to form a body of high density in which the powder is thermally cycled above and below the alpha-gamma transformation temperature of below 800.degree. C., and a stress of between 1.7 MPa and 34.5 MPa is simultaneously applied to the powder to form a high density consolidated body.
