Tungsten alloy armor

Tungsten alloy armor mounted on military equipment, facilities, physical attacks can defend a certain energy (including kinetic, thermal, electromagnetic radiation, etc.), the structure of the protected target to reduce damage. Divided into passive and active armor armor. Tungsten alloy can be used as aircraft and tanks and other armored vehicles, have been used to prevent the firepower after surface penetration and deformation.

The rifle and pistol bullets are usually equipped with a tungsten penetrator made of iron or head. Aircraft and tanks sometimes used depleted uranium penetrator core. These are produced by the projectile from high-density material, they are designed in the piercing process, it is possible to maintain the shape and carries more energy, so as to penetrate target armor. Advantage of depleted uranium after the impact surface is spontaneous, self-sharpening, armored targets in a small area can produce high-temperature high-energy, thereby penetrate armor, some of the armor-piercing explosives or incendiary will be equipped to help penetrate light armor. Energy explosion incendiary / armor piercing tungsten alloy penetrators combines head or high explosives and incendiary bombs.

When the bullet hit the armor, the bullet has enough energy to penetrate armor, tungsten alloy block will collapse. But the damage will be lost warheads which makes armored tungsten alloy block after block preserved, avoiding the armor is penetrated.

Compared with other armor materials, although relatively heavy tungsten alloy armor, but has a better protective effect. Tungsten alloy armor protective effect of 85% higher than the aluminum armor, 50% higher than alloy steel armor. Tungsten alloy armor with better protection, in order to protect the safety of the crew.
