A brief review and assessment of the dynamic consolidation of metal powders is presented.
Primary emphasis is placed on demonstrating the relationship between the shock-wave …

Powder metallurgy (P/M) methods were traditionally used for production of materials with
high melting temperatures, that were impossible or difficult to produce by means of ingot (or …

Cold gas spraying is a relatively new coating process by which coatings can be produced
without significant heating of the sprayed powder. In contrast to the well-known thermal …

This monograph deals with the behavior of essentially nonlinear heterogeneous materials in
processes occurring under intense dynamic loading, where microstructural effects play the …

The topic of this book is Cold Spray technology. Cold Spray is a process of applying
coatings by exposing a metallic or dielectric substrate to a high velocity (300 to 1200 m/s) jet …

This book examines the explosive and related technologies in the context of metallurgical
and materials processing and fabrication. It is a record of the international exchange of …

Crystalline powders of Ni and Ti were mechanically alloyed by high-energy ball milling in an
inert atmosphere at T< 240 K. The alloyed Ni x Ti 1− x powders were characterized by …

Written by the inventor of the Gas Dynamic Spray (GDS) technique, this first monograph on
the topic brings the understanding of the GDS coating formation process to a new qualitative …

The investigation of nanocrystalline materials has been an extremely active field during the
past two decades as it promises to yield new and exciting properties, which will both test the …

The most important microstructural processes involved in shock consolidation are identified
and discussed; the energy dissipated by a shock wave as it traverses a powder is assessed …
