Abstract
The paper describes a technique developed for compacting metal powders by the use of detonating explosives under controlled conditions. Aluminium, iron, copper, and steel powders were originally compacted by this means into solid cylinders. Graphite and other non-metal powders have recently been compacted, and modifications have been introduced whereby annular cylinders may be formed. This novel technique may find application in cases where existing mechanical methods of powder compacting are not adequate.
