Abstract
Industrial production of critical parts in aero engine by PM is now more than 30 years old. During this period, evolution of design principles and better evaluation of the impact of cleanliness has led to an evolution of metallurgy (grades and microstructure) and processes. The basis of this evolution will be presented and illustrated by examples taken from companies worldwide.
