Abstract
Abstract A dispersion-strengthened metal wherein the improvement comprises recrystallizing alloy powder prior to internal oxidation to increase the grain size of the alloy to at least about ASTM (E-112) Grain Size No. 6 to reduce the grain boundary area in the alloy powder whereby the recrystallized alloy powder provides substantially improved structural properties in the dispersion-strengthened metal product.
