A metallic alloy made of metallic constituent elements is fabricated andnutilized by first furnishing (20) a mixture of nonmetallic precursor compoundsnof the metallic constituent elements, and thereafter chemically reducing (22)nthe mixture of nonmetallic precursor compounds to produce a metallic alloynas a metallic alloy powder, without melting the metallic alloy. The metallicnalloy powder is applied (26) to a surface of a substrate article (24), preferablynin a coating, joining, or deposition application. |
