	%X For briquetting of metal chips are used hydraulic and
mechanical presses. The density of the briquettes in this case is about
60% - 70 % on the density of solid metal. In this work are presented
the results of experimental studies for briquetting of metal chips, by
using a new technology for impact briquetting. The used chips are by
Armco iron, steel, cast iron, copper, aluminum and brass. It has been
found that: (i) in a controlled impact the density of the briquettes can
be increases up to 30%; (ii) at the same specific impact energy Es
(J/sm3) the density of the briquettes increases with increasing of the
impact velocity; (iii), realization of the repeated impact leads to
decrease of chips density, which can be explained by distribution of
elastic waves in the briquette.
