Impact Response of Control Atmosphere Plasma Spray Deposited Materials

Branch, Brittany A.; Mccoy, Chad A.; Vackel, Andrew

Thermal spray processing of metals and respective blends is becoming increasingly attractive due to the unique properties such as increased yield strength, low ductility, and differences in tensile and compressive strengths that result from microstructural features due to the spray process compared to other additive manufacturing methods. Here we report the results of plate impact experiments applied to Controlled Atmosphere Plasma Spray deposits of tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), and a tantalum-niobium blend (TaNb). These methods allowed for definition of the Hugoniot for each material type and the assessment of the Hugoniot Elastic Limit (HEL). Spallation experiments were conducted, and soft recovery of each material type allowed for scanning electron microscopy to characterize the fracture mechanism during tensile loading.

EMP Testing of UL489 Circuit Breakers

Bowman, Tyler C.; Baca, Michael J.; Guttromson, Ross

Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) is performing a test campaign for the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) to address high-altitude electromagnetic pulse (HEMP) vulnerability of critical components of generation stations, with focus on early-time (E1) HEMP. The campaign seeks to establish response and damage thresholds for these critical elements in response to reasonable HEMP threat levels as a means for determining where vulnerabilities may exist or where mitigations may be needed. This report provides component vulnerability test results that will help to inform site vulnerability assessments and HEMP mitigation planning.
