Abstract:
An apparatus and method for treatment of articles, using glass failure generated pulses. The apparatus and method is directed towards the hardening and compaction of a glass-covered elongated object that is impacted by a flyer plate having a shape that is complimentary to that of the elongated object. The flyer plate is propelled by, an explosive reaction to create the impact on the glass-covered elongated object. This results in an explosive reaction that pressure-treats the elongated object, thereby causing the hardening and compaction.
