A study on the cylindrical shock compression device using shock wave generated by explosion of explosive

There are a lot of studies related to the shock wave generated by explosive; explosive compaction[1], explosive welding[2], shock synthesis[31, and explosive forming[4]. Especially, shock synthesis is interested. Recently, the artificially diamond with high-function material using shock synthesis method is being studied. In this paper, to obtain an Al/Graphite and Cu/Graphite consolidated bulk material, shock compaction method is employed. Experiments are carried out using a cylindrical shock compression device. The samples are Al/Graphite and Cu/Graphite powder. In these experiments, the pressure which acts on powder container was not high because as a X-ray diffraction result, a peak of diamond was not appeared in any cases. However, the consolidated material of Al/Graphite and Cu/Graphite are obtained.
