In order to achieve an optimal design of shock compaction device, various designs of parts are attempted. For the height of water container that creates an underwater shock wave and a reflected wave, a characteristic of underwater shock wave is evaluated by means of numerical analysis. It is found that the underwater shock wave and the reflected wave became one wave with higher shock pressure in the case of water container (height 21.5 mm). Also, the evaluation for a powder container is experimentally tried in consideration of reuse.

In order to consolidate metal powders, the present investigation uses a shock wave derived from the detonation of an explosive and it’s called a shock compaction method. In the present investigation, we employed an ultra-high pressure generation device in order to generate underwater shock wave. The underwater shock wave is derived from the detonation wave in a water container and after that underwater shock wave is converged in the central axis. Finally, the high pressure of underwater shock wave is uniformly impinged on the powders. In case of experimental data that is measured by manganin gauge, the peak pressure of underwater shock wave is 16.8GPa, the result of numerical analysis is 17.9GPa. Considering for the measurement error (1GPa), it seems to be good agreement between the result of numerical analysis and experiment. Nd-Fe-B magnetic material powders are tried to consolidate using the assembly under optional temperatures by heating system and the samples recovered under different conditions were examined in terms of magnetic properties.

In this study, it has aimed at the design of the pressure vessel where an underwater shock wave is applied to food efficiently. This study aims at the desigh of a pressure vessel in which the underwater shock wave generated by the underwater explosion of detonating fuse was experimentally investigated by the optical observation and the pressure measurement. Therefore the pressure vessel is designed so that suitable pressure may apply on food. This designed vessel is evaluated by the numerical analysis that used LS-DYNA3D. The interaction of the underwater shock wave, the incident wave and the reflected wave are investigated by the numerical analysis. The agreement between the experimental results and the numerical analysis was found to be good.

A shock compaction method using an underwater shockwave is used to consolidate the Cu/graphite and Ni/graphite composites. The copper powder (particle size < 45 m) and nickel powder (particle size < 150 m) were respectively mixed with the graphite powder (particle size < 45 m, purity 99.9%). The propagation phenomenon of underwater shock wave is studied by means of numerical analysis (LS-DYNA 3D) in terms of the magnitude and distribution of shock pressure impinged on the powder surface. The shock pressure of underwater shock wave obtained from shock compaction device is approximately 16 GPa. To make a big size material (ø30mm), we changed the inner size of powder container from ø10 mm to ø30 mm. We confirmed that the consolidation possibility of the big size composite materials (Cu/graphite, Ni/graphite) by the shock compaction method using underwater shock wave.

A burr is most commonly created after machining operations, such as drilling. Drilling burrs, for example, are common when drilling almost any material. When burrs are broken during the operation of a machine including the parts with the created burrs, the broken piece is in fear of disturbing normal operation or damaging the parts of the machine, so that the sufficient deburring is requested because it can affect equipment performance, reliability, and durability. Several deburring method have been developed up to date. In the present report, we proposed a deburring method by means of applying underwater shock wave. The method is as follows: after all entrance of holes is closed with seal tape, the equipment is submerged, so that all passages for running fluid are filled with air. The explosive is set under water near the entrance of the main hole. As soon as the explosive is detonated, the underwater shock wave generated at the detonation point arrives at the entrance of the hole and breaks through the tape. The water flows into the hole with a high speed. The burr is broken by water hummer action of high speed. In the present investigation, the experiments of deburring are performed under some setting conditions of explosive. It is found by experimental results, that the burr is sufficiently removed with the newly proposed method. When the shock pressure is sufficiently high at the entrance of hole, the burr is broken surface is smooth as polished one. When the shock pressure is not sufficiently high, the broken surface of the burr is notched.

In this report, we propose a new explosive welding method, and the welding is performed at employing underwater shock pressure produced by the underwater explosion of an explosive placed at one side almost vertical to the specimen to be welded. In order to prevent the reduction of the shock pressure with the distance away from explosive, a steel reflector is placed over the area of the specimen. The effects of the reflector are investigated based on the experimental results and the process is numerically analyzed results.
