Tungsten in Armor Piercing Application-Tungsten Alloy Penetrators

Tungsten in armor-piercing shells is as the main material for core, called tungsten alloy penetrators. The armor-piercing bullet’s piercing capability is closely related to the density of core, and therefore, in order to improve the armor-piercing capability, bomb cores are manufactured using high-density material, and the core material must have sufficient strength, hardness and toughness, which was in line with those of tungsten conditions.

Depleted uranium is also popular bomb core material, however, the depleted uranium is great harm to the environment, and the mechanical properties of tungsten alloy penetrators in friable, by controlling the kinetic energy penetrator materials required for the performance of his, but also has the potential to achieve the crushing effect, so tungsten alloy is a priority material used as penetrators.
