Computer Simulation Concept Dependence of the relative viscosity of slurry on the relative number density of solid particles The peculiar behaviour of the powder materials that do not form a solid sceleton in the process of physicochemical transformations may manifest itself in their specific reaction to the increase in the intensity of mechanical impact. The achievement of effective viscosity of a critical value is considered as a criterion of powder support instability - the change of internal friction mechanism - the viscoplastic compaction of hard deformed powder body of the given type will yield to a nonlinear viscoplastic flow of concentrated slurry of interacting particles, which is characterised by a higher flow velocity and the termination of the process of reactive component mechanical activation.

Conclusion n n The data presented suggest that the degree of mechanical activation of Zr-B mixture reactive components play the key role in the satisfaction of the conditions of shock initiation of chemical transformations. For the macroscopically heterogeneous powder mixture, shock initiation is possible in the areas with an excess of refractory component. The change of internal friction mechanism is key feature of zirconium diboride shock synthesis Thank You for Your attention 14
