Tungsten APFSDS

What is a tungsten alloy APFSDS (APFSDS)?

Tungsten APFSDS is one of the main anti-tank weapon in the world today. Tungsten APFSDS than relying on high explosives to penetrate armor, but on its own momentum carried penetrate armor. APFSDS tungsten alloy commonly used in tanks and armored vehicles, its shape is shaped pole.

Tungsten APFSDS is using its own kinetic energy to penetrate armor. The kinetic energy depends on the speed and quality, at a certain speed, increasing the quality of the elastomer is another way to increase the kinetic energy. Piercing therefore generally use high density, high hardness and high temperature of the material. This will also ensure that when the projectile is not easy to bend to combat armored collision, the collision energy generated will reduce the strength of elastomers. Now more widely used material is tungsten alloy and depleted uranium. But depleted uranium with high radiation, to be debated. The higher density tungsten alloy, quality is also large, can increase the kinetic energy. Tungsten alloy hardness is also higher, bending does not occur when piercing. In addition, non-toxic and non-radioactive tungsten alloy, does not produce environmental pollution.
