Abstract: The dynamic compaction process has previously been shown to be suitable for the consolidation of rapidly-solidified and thermally-unstable materials with the retention of much of the metastability of the original powder. The mechanical and corrosionresistance behaviour of compacted amorphous Metglas® 2826 has been determined and is compared here with that of the as-solidified material. Some loss of metastability always occurs during dynamic compaction which could be due to a complete loss of amorphism or due to a more minor structural change. Effective bonding between powder particles was obtained but a form of micro-porosity within the bond-zones appeared to affect material behaviour.
