Combined static-dynamic compaction of powder material presents advantages for achievement of a higher degree of powder compaction for in dry conditions. One of possible realizations in the use of pulsed electromagnetic compaction applied in addition to the static pre-compaction carried out by a hudraulic press. Experimental MPC equipment was used for compaction powders of Sic and Al-B with W fibers at different stages of grinding. The degree of compaction was evaluated by shock pate-s displacement at different levels and regimes of dynamic loading. The paper demonstrates feasibility of the method for compaction of the selected ceramic and metal powders and presents some quantitative data for practices.
