Title: Shock waves for industrial applications

Book ·
OSTI ID:7259218

The present work treats the effects of shock wave-induced deformations on the structure and behavior of engineering materials, which extend to both hardening and strengthening. Attention is given to explosive-forming and material-working applications of shock waves, the process parameters employed for explosive forming in the automotive industry, the nature of bimetallic structures produced by explosive welding, and the use of explosive welding and bonding for multilaminate production. Also discussed are the shock wave consolidation of metallic and ceramic powdered materials, Soviet trends in shock wave compaction technology, the shock compaction and consolidation of nonoxide ceramic powders and of polymer powders, the fabrication of novel bulk superconductor composites by explosive consolidation and bonding, and the role of shock-induced reactivity in the fabrication of new materials.
