Post-Test Microstructural Analysis of Particle Impact-Tested Wrought Inconel, Additively Manufactured Inconel and Wrought Monel TargetsParticle impact testing in high pressure oxygen was performed to evaluate ignition susceptibility of Inconel 718 and Monel 400. Sapphire particles (1.5-mm diameter) under high pressure oxygen, travelling at hypersonic speeds, made impact with metal targets, resulting in surface indentations. This report details the post-test characterization of impact craters observed on three metallic target samples: wrought nickel-based superalloy Inconel 718 (IN718), additively manufactured Inconel 718 (AM-IN718) and nickel-copper alloy, Monel 400.
