Abstract: A seal member is provided with an improved combination of oxidation resistance, fluid erosion resistance, reduced thermal conductivity and low flow stress at elevated temperatures through a plurality of metallurgically bonded metal alloy powder particles in the size range substantially of about +140 to about -270 ASTM (U.S. Standard Sieve) the metal particles being metallographically distinguishable and consisting essentially of, by weight, 15 - 35% Cr, about 8 to 20% Al, up to 5% of elements selected from Y, Hf and the rare earth elements, with the balance selected from Fe, Co and Ni, the member having a density in the range of about 65 - 90% of theoretical density.
