STUDIES OF MATERIALS OF HIGH COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH.

Abstract

The fundamental aim of this research program was to extend the currently available limit of pressure and temperature measurements by devising new apparatus and new techniques. Results of a study of the crushing strength of tungsten carbide made possible a re-design of pistons used in high pressure experiments and increasing the pressures available in single-staged piston cylinder operation from 45 Kilobars to 80 Kilobars.
