Tungsten Alloy Applied for Rocket Projectile

Rocket projectile is usually composed of a warhead, a rocket engine, and a stabilizer. And tungsten alloy such as W-Ni-Fe or W-Ni-Cu alloy balls are used in the warhead of rocket projectile. It has been reported that the warhead of the dual-purpose cluster bombs in the WS-2 rocket projectiles adopt tungsten alloy material. Its attack accuracy is very high and the attack range can reach 360 kilometers.

Tungsten alloy rocket projectile uses an intrusive warhead and relies on the high-speed kinetic energy of the tungsten alloy core to penetrate and damage the target. But why choose tungsten alloy as the warhead material for a rocket projectile? This is because compared with other warhead materials, tungsten alloy has characteristics of high density, high melting point (3410 °C), high strength, good plasticity, good machinability, good electrical conductivity, good thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion coefficient, low cost and simple processing technology. So, why not choose tungsten alloy rocket projectile?
