Solid-state cold spraying (CS) of metals and respective blends is becoming increasingly attractive compared to conventional high temperature processes 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 CS process. Here we report the results of plate impact experiments applied to CS 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 allowed for assessment of the Hugoniot Elastic Limit (HEL). Scanning electron microscopy was used on recovered samples to characterize the fracture mechanism during spallation.
