The high proportion of military defense for tungsten alloy

High density tungsten alloy is more and more used in the military defense parts production, such as bullets, armor and artillery shells, bombs, grenades, titles,shotgun bullets, bullet proof car, tank armor, guns, guns and national defense etc..The main purpose of tungsten alloy penetrators in kinetic energy is, depleted uranium(DU) calculation in direct competition.

A significant mass of tungsten has been used for the production of military trainingfacilities, as an alternative to the use of lead shot 5.56 mm ammunition. Tungstenquality, for a fixed target / fixed firing position has produced the desired soil containingtungsten concentration%, in addition to the traditional lead.

Properties of tungsten alloy

Two times the density of tungsten alloy having a melting point and steel high, heavier than lead more than 50%. High density tungsten alloy than lead with greater radiation shielding and non-toxic. Tungsten alloy contribute to electrical and thermal conductivity, and good corrosion resistance. Their low expansion coefficient, highelastic modulus. Because of these unique properties of tungsten alloys are widelyused in military, balance weight, alloy rocket assembly and bullets and other heavy metals, especially the weight of aircraft and offset the gyrocompass.

Heavy metal insert is used as the core military pellet quality is high, so the tungsten alloy are widely used in military defense.

Military tungsten alloy

Powder metallurgy (P / M) military, extended from the traditional media and sintering liquid phase sintered tungsten alloy (WHA) by powder injection molding (PIM>). The navy has hired them to the third phalanx close in weapon system (CIWS) the great advantage of the world health assembly. The army intends to research will lead totungsten alloy or composite materials, as a long rod penetrator, will perform as well as, or better than, the depleted uranium (DU) penetrator. Tungsten alloy WHAs) is the best choice, is the ideal material for national defence industry, it combines the highdensity, mechanical strength, good and easy processing performance, tungsten alloy is an important material in military defense.
