Abstract
A method of producing a component, wherein the component comprises a body and a ceramic coating, the method comprising at least partially filling a receptacle with a powdered material; subjecting the receptacle to compressive pressure at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to at least partially consolidate said powdered material to form the body of the component; and subjecting the receptacle to oxidising conditions, nitridising conditions and/or carburising conditions to thereby form the ceramic coating.

A method of producing a component having a ceramic coating, the method comprising:
- at least partially filling a receptacle with a powdered material;
- subjecting the powdered material to compressive pressure at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to at least partially consolidate said powdered material to form a body of the component;
- and
- transforming an external surface of the receptacle into a ceramic coating such that an untransformed layer of the receptacle remains between the body of the component and the ceramic coating.
