Abstract

Lead is a material of fundamental scientific interest because of its relatively low melting point and ductility. Alloys of lead are used for practical reasons which include the desire to have a slightly harder form of the metal to be able to handle without damage. A practical question is how lead and alloys with small amounts of alloying element respond to dynamic loading. Here we report the results of fundamental shock wave compression experiments on an alloy of lead that contains approximately 3.5 wt.% antimony. Good results for several dynamic properties have been obtained, and are reported here.
