“…One of the most effective processes of powder metallurgy, providing dense (almost non-porous) workpieces (including complex shapes), is hot forging of porous preforms [1–7]. In addition to the ultimate density that this technology can provide, the materials obtained with its use have other specific features, in particular, hereditary fine grain size, which favourably distinguishes it from the methods of foundry processing or high-temperature liquid phase sintering (in case of using powder metallurgy technology).…”
