Abstract

The experimental findings are reviewed for one alumina material, the adverse effects of excessive shock compaction on the densification kinetics and microstructural development are considered, competing thermally activated, rate-sensitive processes (recrystallization, grain growth) are identified, and some examples of enhanced sinterability due to shock conditioning per se (reasonably free of confounding morphological effects) are presented. Factors affecting the optimization of (1) shock conditioning and (2) intermediate (postshock) processing of the powders as well as (3) subsequent densification during sintering are also discussed.
