Recently, the powder forging process of rapidly solidified Al alloys was investigated in order to develop an inexpensive alternative process to produce high strength parts with complex shapes. It has been shown that the mechanical properties of powder-forged parts are as good as those produced by extrusion. In this study, the consolidation behaviors of rapidly solidified Al-Si-Fe-Cr alloy powders with different shapes and sizes have been investigated using the Al-Si-Fe-Cr alloy powders made by three different rapid solidification processes: gas atomization, centrifugal atomization, and twin roll quenching.
