The Comparisons of Tungsten Alloy and Depleted Uranium Alloy

Density of the materials is a key factor in the impact kinetic energy penetrators penetrating force, from the viewpoint of economic feasibility, of heavy metals may be used only depleted uranium penetrator material alloys and tungsten alloys. There are somes differences between depleted uranium alloys and tungsten alloys :

1: Mechanical properties and yield strength. Under quasi-static conditions, the traditional mechanical properties of depleted uranium alloy tungsten alloy is almost equal, and the yield strength of tungsten alloy high 25% to 30% over the depleted uranium alloys.

2: Safety and environmental protection. Depleted uranium is radioactive contamination, which can cause environmental and political issues, with the development of promising more narrow.

3: Adiabatic shear sensitivity. Tungsten alloy with adiabatic shear sensitivity, but the effect is not good depleted uranium alloy, so to improve its "self-sharpening" effect has become a hot spot, you need to intensify research.
