The energy of relatively cheap explosives is being used on an increasingly wide scale in different branches of technology, including the technique of powder metallurgy for compacting briquettes and products made from metallic and non-metallic powders.
A brief description is given of some of the results obtained from compacting iron and aluminium/alumina powders (SAP) by means of high explosives. Data for normal “static” compacting and compacting by dynamic loading are included for comparison.
