Shock compaction of molybdenum powder

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5581871
Shock recovery experiments carried out in the 9 to 12 GPa range on 1.4 distension Mo appear adequate to compact to full density (< 45 ..mu..m) powders. However, the stress levels are below those calculated to be from 100 to approx. 22 GPa which a frictional heating model predicts are required to consolidate approx. 10 to 50 ..mu..m particles. The present model predicts that for powders have a distension of m=1.6 shock pressures of 14 to 72 GPa are required to consolidate Mo powders in the 50 to 10 ..mu..m range.
