Abstract
The occurrence of macro-cracks in compacts fabricated by shock compaction of powders is a severe problem preventing this consolidation technique from commercial applications. In this paper the sources of important failure types that typically occur in the cylindrical configuration i.e. radial, transverse, and spiral cracks and the Mach stem are described. Subsequently, solutions for their prevention are given supported by experimental results and/or computer simulations. Some conflicting requirements for obtaining bonded crack-free compacts are discussed.
