The Difference Between Tungsten Alloy Armor Piercing Projectile and Depleted Uranium Armor Piercing Projectile

tungsten alloy penetrator picture

The main difference between Tungsten Alloy Armor Piercing Projectile and Depleted Uranium Armor piercing Projectile lies in the different core materials. The former uses tungsten alloy, which obtains huge initial kinetic energy to penetrate armor to destroy the target under the action of high temperature and high pressure gas in the bore, while the latter uses depleted uranium alloy (the content of uranium 235 is less than 0.711%), which produces large impact force and high temperature of uranium combustion to destroy the target when penetrating armor. Because of the different materials, the performance of armor piercing projectiles made by them is also different.

Application of Tungsten Alloy Armor Piercing Projectile Near Anti Aircraft Gun

near anti aircraft gun picture

Near Defense Shell is a very common air defense weapon on modern ships, which is mainly used to intercept incoming anti-ship missiles and fighters. Tungsten Alloy Armor Piercing Projectile relies on the kinetic energy of tungsten alloy core to penetrate armor and destroy targets. Because of its high initial speed, long direct distance and high shooting accuracy, it has become one of the Near Defense Shell.

Tungsten Trioxide is an oxide of tungsten and an important industrial raw material, which is widely used in many fields because of its good properties. For example, in the military field, it is often used as an important invisible material because of its strong ability to absorb electromagnetic waves. At present, there are several methods to prepare Tungsten Trioxide, among which sol-gel method, which has the advantages of simple process, less environmental pollution, less corrosion to equipment and relatively low production cost, is more popular.
