A wide range of interesting phenomena can occur when metallic particles impact metal surfaces at supersonic speeds, including adhesion, melting, cratering, erosion, and hydrodynamic shock-induced jetting. The Schuh group is systematically investigating high-speed microparticle impacts using a new real-time observation method that allows for direct nanosecond scale observation of the moment of impact, as well as finite-element modelling.
