Abstract

The structures of aluminum nitride and aluminum oxide powders have been modified by explosive shock treatment at pressures from 4 to 27 GPa. Shockinduced dislocations in AlN were apparently responsible for enhancement in hot pressing behavior. In Al2O3 an increase 3 to 4 times in densification rates after shocking resulted-from rapid sintering of aggregates in the powder.
