We investigated the effects of shape of the target on ejecta size when aluminum alloy 2017-T4 spheres with a diameter of 3.2 mm impacted aluminum alloy 6061-T6 targets with a plane surface and a curved surface at velocities of 2 to 7 km/s. We used a two-stage light-gas gun at the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS)/Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). To examine the scattering angles of the ejecta, the following was placed 50 mm in front of the target: a witness plate (150 mm × 150 mm, 2 mm in thickness) made of copper with a hole of 30 mm. The ejection behaviors of fragments were observed using a high-speed video camera. The size distributions of the ejecta were examined in detail. We compared the size distribution of the ejecta when impacting on the plane surface target and when impacting on the curved surface target.
