Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod for BGM-71

Tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy rod through calcinations. The normal method used in the processing are extruding, forging and sintering. After calcinations, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher ductility, toughness and tensile strength than tungsten alloy rod, so it can be used for a longer time. Tungsten alloy swaging rod can be used for BGM-71.

The BGM-71 is an anti-tank missile. First produced in 1970, BGM-71 is one of the most widely used anti-tank guided missiles.

Initially developed by Hughes Aircraft between 1963 and 1968, the XBGM-71A was designed for both ground and heli-borne applications. In 1997, Raytheon Co. purchased Hughes Electronics from General Motors Corporation, so development and production of TOW systems now comes under the Raytheon brand. The BGM-71 wire-guided heavy anti-tank missile is produced by Raytheon Systems Company. The weapon is used in anti-armor, anti-bunker, anti-fortification and anti-amphibious landing roles. BGM-71 is in service with over 45 militaries and is integrated on over 15,000 ground, vehicle and helicopter platforms worldwide.

With the high density and high hardness of tungsten alloy swaging rod, BGM-71 can hit and destroy tank and other armor vehicles.
