| Abstract: | In the new millennium a trend focused on making improvements in existing technologies of powder metallurgy and on the development
of new and promising trends in the creation of powder structural materials is observed. The development of the technology
of powder metallurgy is intended to improve methods of warm and injection molding, laser and mechanical alloying, and nitration
of high-and lowalloy steels. Considerable attention has been paid to the production of structural materials made of intermetallic
compounds, materials, the properties of which exhibit functional gradients. There has also been emphasis on creating nanomaterials
fabricated by the sol-gel method, mechanical alloying, and powder spraying.
