Sintered materials ( this is essentially a sintering process) can be very strong.
I absolutely agree, but it’s hard to believe stronger than a forging. It may be that blades of adequate strength and durability could be formed or part-formed this new way and *then* forged and could save on machining time. That’s IMO.
*This* I find equally if not more interesting.
“The researchers also found that the performance of the superalloy correlated with predictions generated from a computer model that was designed to predict how particular combinations of elements would conduct thermal energy. Those predictions suggest that future computer models might be able to help predict which combinations of elements are likely to result in new and useful superalloys.”
