| Abstract Scope |
The production of powders with extraordinary mechanical and functional properties through rapid solidification, cryo-milling, and other techniques necessitates a method to compact them, in order to preserve the unique microstructures and obtain useful products. Among these methods of consolidation, dynamic compaction stands out because the heating is localized to the surfaces and properties of the individual powders are retained. We summarize the results of our collective experience of thirty years of delivering the controlled and prescribed energy through explosives, gas guns, and high-speed forging machines. The current state of the field related to tailoring of the fundamental energy dissipation/localization mechanisms, and the limitations and potential of the dynamic compaction process will be reviewed. |
