Abstract

Abstract Metal particles are confined in a tube of ductile material capable of collapsing against the particle butyl of resisting penetration by the particles. The tube is encased in a buffer material capable of compression through its thickness, and the buffer material is enclosed in a liquid-impervious, flexible container. The assembly is evacuated an immersed in a liquid, and the liquid then is pressurized to collapse the assembly and compact the particles into coherent, solid form.
