The Ramp-compression experiments have been performed on the “Z” pulsed-power facility to investigate the strengths of Be and lead-antimony alloy. Yield strength and shear stress near peak pressure were obtained from measurements of the sound speed on release and using the Asay self-consistent method. Two S-65 grade Be samples, from batches which showed a significant difference in yield strength at ambient conditions, were found to have near identical yield strengths, which were also in agreement with similar earlier measurements on S-200 grade Be. Yield strength of Pb4Sb alloy at ~120 GPa was 1.35 GPa, while a National Ignition Facility (NIF) experiment by A. Krygier et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 205701 (2020)) found 3.8 GPa at ~400 GPa pressure. Our result is intermediate between the ambient value and the Krygier one, but the significantly increased strength is probably not associated with the transition to the high-pressure bcc phase of lead.
