Hot explosive compaction of diamond powder using cylindrical geometry

Abstract

Diamond powders were attempted to be consolidated at elevated temperature using an explosive compaction technique employing a cylindrical configuration. A compacted diamond sample recovered from the center of a cylinder, close to the end plug made of stainless steel showed high hardness and tight interparticle bonding between the diamond powders. The sample was characterized on the basis of X-ray diffraction patterns. No graphitization was observed due to heating or compaction, and the hot compacted sample was highly strained by intensive deformation at elevated temperature.
