Abstract: The dynamic tensile strength (spall strength) of tin and lead melts has been measured by a found method. Comparison with similar measurements of the spall strength of these metals at room temperature shows that melting reduces the spall strength by at least an order of magnitude. The spall strength of liquid metals is a smaller fraction of the extremely possible (“ideal”) strength than that for water and organic liquids.
