Abstract
Implosive powder consolidation of axisymmetrical components is based on the utilization of the available impact energy in both deforming plastically the cylindrical powder container and affecting the compaction of its contents. The level of the energy available for actual compaction depends not only on the mass and radial velocity of the container, but also, for the given overall impact energy delivered, on its material and geometry. In the course of extensive investigations of the process of explosive consolidation of polymer powders and their mixtures, the relationships between the reduction in the outer diameter and the explosive/tube mass and, further, between the generalized strain and impact have been established experimentally. This information in conjunction with the calculated energy data, enables an assessment of the deformation and compaction components of the impact energy to be made. It also provides an insight into the response of a cylinder to implosive shock loading.
