Abstract: Macrodefects of the structure of samples produced by explosive compaction of an aluminum powder were examined. The areas of the new contact particle surfaces produced by high-rate deformation were measured by stereological methods. The eddy current method was used to measure the macroscopic electric conductivity of the compacts. From these data, the mean sizes and number of macrodefects per unit volume of a compact were calculated. The techniques employed can be useful for an analysis of the structure of composite materials produced by various methods.
