A method for shock consolidation of hard powders at elevated temperature is designed and employed for the compaction of diamond and related material powders. At a temperature above 1100℃, diamond and other compacts are well consolidated due to softening the powders at elevated temperature. The hardness of the diamond compacts show high Vickers hardness which correspands with the original powder material. Mixed diamond + c-BN powders are also consolidated at high temperature and well consolidated showing high hardness.
