Hypervelocity Impact of an aluminum ball (few mm's size)penetrating a thick steel plate. Taken with the HSFC-PRO Imaging System .
Double-exposure flash radiography (with a framing sequence of 60 μs) images the debris-cloud
expansion after impact of an aluminum sphere on a titanium/tungsten shield at 5.7 km/s.
Image taken 70us after breakdown with 140ns exposure. 3 us delay between first and second image.
Color added to illustrate light intensity levels.

Contactless high speed metal forming by means of a pulsed
electromagnectic field. The forming process takes place in typical less than
70 μs, the camera exposure times were varied within one sequence between 500 ns
and 2 μs to accommodate for changes in forming speed and light intensity due to metal reflections.
The influence of the key process parameters magnetical field strength and mechanical
setup on forming dynamics was studied.
