Abstract
The influence of helium bubbles or boron inclusions in an aluminum target is studied by plane impact experiments with a gas gun and VISAR diagnostic. The experiments were carried out on targets with initial temperatures of 25 °C and near melting at 600 °C. The Hugoniot elastic limit yHEL for all targets becomes substantially higher at 600 °C, related to the phonon drag mechanism at high strain rates and high temperatures. The spall strength for all targets becomes substantially lower at 600 °C. The spall strength of Al-10B with helium bubbles is significantly reduced in comparison to Al-10B without helium, while at 25 °C the spall strength is the same for both cases. This effect might be explained by a local strength reduction of the aluminium at pre-heating conditions, allowing the helium bubbles to be more dominant in the spallation process
