Abstract Characterization of graphite/nickel composite powders subjected to high-pressure shock-wave compression was performed using optical and transmission electron microscopy. Unique spherulites of graphite were observed in the nickel matrix of those specimens in which the nickel apparently melted under the shock-wave loading. The morphology of these spherulites resembles that of nodular graphite found in cast iron. Evidence of diamond formation was found both at the centre of spherulites (polycrystalline) as well as in the remaining graphite flakes (single crystal).
