Armor-piercing bullet has a reputation for strong drill, as the saying goes, diamond cut diamond.

It mainly by the projectile hit targets in a large kinetic energy and high breakdown strength steel armor itself.To breakdown armor of the target without the great self-conditions is not enough. The projectile of armor piercing bullet is made by high-density tungsten alloy, which is harder than the armor of tank.
Every single bullet have hard warhead. It’s the sworn enemies for attack the tank and armored vehicles, also for concrete work.

When launched, the bullet under the action of high temperature and high pressure gas in the chamber, hit a target, it will make a pit. Meanwhile, the bullet will replace the surface of steel armor pit bottom. Although the warhead has burst, but the Projectile under the impact of the strong inertial force, it will continue to forward. When the impact force reaches a certain value, the fuse is triggered, and it caused the explosion of the projectile charge. This would produce dozens of tons to hundreds of tons of high pressure on each square centimeter. Thus, it get the Purpose of destruction.

Now we know, the Penetrator penetrating power mainly comes from the kinetic energy projectile motion.

Tungsten alloy has many excellent characteristics, its high density, good thermal stability, non-toxic, non-polluting, and many other advantages, has been widely used in military category, and gradually replace other military metal.

Tungsten market: With the advent of summer break, large enterprises plan this month unpublished, tungsten businesses are mostly watching recently, very little actual transaction, inquiry was also suppressed low, expected this month, the overall turnover of the market or significantly lighter. Recent tungsten scrap market volume is small, demand for the release is slow, underpowered price adjustment businesses. Dragged down by weak demand in the short term is difficult to have a clear tungsten ore price rally this week, prices or continue to stabilize.

Tungsten alloy is a kind of free from contamination, abrasion resistant, high hardness of the material. It has good high temperature strength hardness, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. So that Tungsten alloy military products are widely used in military field. It is used for the bullet, armor-piercing and warhead, grenades, cannon, tank guns, etcTungsten alloy is a kind of free from contamination, abrasion resistant, high hardness of the material. It has good high temperature strength hardness, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. So that Tungsten alloy military products are widely used in military field. It is used for the bullet, armor-piercing and warhead, grenades, cannon, tank guns, etc.

Penetrator is a typical high density tungsten alloy products. Armor-piercing application in the military, is based on the hardness and shape of the shell material, plus a charge transfer of kinetic energy during the shooting, when in contact with the rigid target penetrates the surface and to achieve the effect of damage. Armor-piercing except for anti-tank, can also be used to deal with other solid targets, or use on bomb, the attack warship protective armor.

Early, the shapes of penetrator warhead is simple pointed cone flow line. With the increase of firing distance, simple the firing accuracy of streamlined does not ensure that the warhead. To stabilize the ballistic warheads, began to appear on the warheads hood front end, this kind of penetrator is called cap penetrator. And in World War II began to application.

At present, in order to avoid military material produce pollution to the environment, tungsten alloy military products are gradually replacing lead and depleted uranium for bullets and penetrator.

The latest CMN, Ganzhou Tungsten Industry Association in July to 65% wolframite guidance of 110,000 yuan / ton, unchanged from last month were, following last month's flat, two consecutive months guidance stabilize, it also laid the tungsten market is the recent trend broadly stable based. Today, tungsten ore miner continues to market the sidelines, purchasing and shipping are less market activity is very low, thinly traded. Dragged down by weak demand, is expected to have a significant short-term price rally hard this week, prices or continue to stabilize, 7 months late and even the risk of a slight decline.
