Abstract
Long period stacking ordered (LPSO) type magnesium alloys have the low density, excellent mechanical strength and ignition resistance. LPSO-type magnesium alloys have a great potential as structural materials of satellites. Lip formation and ejecta size were examined when spherical projectiles strikes thin plates made of LPSO-type magnesium alloy at hypervelocities of 5Â km/s. Witness plates were placed in front of and behind each target to determine the scattering area. After impact experiments, ejecta were collected from test chamber and lips near penetration hole was examined x-ray computed cosmography (CT) in detail. Results of LPSO-type magnesium alloy plates were compared with those of aluminum alloy (A6061-T6). Images of scattering ejecta taken by a high speed video camera were also discussed.
