Explosive Compaction of Powdered Metals by share video is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes a study on the feasibility of using explosive compaction to form missile and ordnance parts from powdered metals. The project aimed to achieve near theoretical densities through high pressures generated by explosives. Densities as high as 97.9% of theoretical were achieved with steel powder compacts after considerable precompaction preparation, though oxide removal proved difficult. It was determined that the costs to achieve acceptable physical properties would be too high to make
