A METHOD FOR CONTINUOUSLY HOT CONSOLIDATING METAL POWDERS INTO WROUGHT ENLONGATED FLAT SHAPES WHICH COMPRISES CONTINUOUSLY GRAVIMETRICALLY FEEDING FREE FLOWING HOT COARSE METAL POWDER OF MELTING POINT ABOVE 1100* C. TO THE NIP OF A PAIR OF ROLLS HAVING AN EFFECTIVE ROLL GAP, SAID POWDER BEING FED AT A TEMPERATURE ABOVE THE MINMUM RECRYSTALLIZATION TEMPERATURE OF THE METAL AND HAVING A SHAPE WHICH INSURES FREE FLOWABILITY AND A RELATIVELY HIGH APPARENT DENSITY AT SAID TEMPERATURE, CONTINUOUSLY MAINTAINING A RESERVOIR OF THE FREE FLOWING HOT METAL POWDER AGAINST THE METAL DRAWN INTO THE GRIPPING ZONE OF THE ROLLS SUFFICIENT TO CONTINUOUSLY FEED METAL INTO THE GRIPPING ZONE, THE SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROLLS RELATIVE TO THE METAL POWDER BEING SUCH AS TO PROVIDE A GRIPPING ANGLE WITH THE METAL CORRESPONDING TO A COEFFICIENT
