Spray-formed materials have complex microstructures which pose challenges for microscale and mesoscale modeling. To constrain these models, experimental measurements of wave profiles when subjecting the material to dynamic compression are necessary. The use of a gas gun to launch a shock into a material is a traditional method to understand wave propagation and provide information of time-dependent stress variations due to complex microstructures. This data contains information on wave reverberations within a material and provides a boundary condition for simulation. Here we present measurements of the wavespeed and wave profile at the rear surface of tantalum, niobium, and a tantalum/niobium blend subjected to plate impact. Measurements of the Hugoniot elastic limit are compared to previous work and wavespeeds are compared to longitudinal sound velocity measurements to examine wave damping due to the porous microstructure.
