Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod for C-701 Missile

Tungsten alloy swaging rod consists of W-Ni-Fe, W-Ni-Cu, W-Ni-Cu-Fe. It is made of tungsten alloy rod. Tungsten content ranges from 90% to 97%. Compared with tungsten alloy rod, tungsten alloy swaging rod has higher hardness and higher strength. Tungsten alloy swaging rod can be used as kinetic energy penetrator in C-701.

The C-701 is a Chinese missile that is roughly comparable to the American AGM-65 A/B/D/H Maverick air-to-surface missile. However, the C-701 is smaller and has less than half the weight of the AGM-65 A/B/D/H Maverick. Although originally designed as an anti-ship missile, the missile was eventually developed into an air-to-surface missile that can engage various targets. When used as an anti-ship missile, its intended targets are boats with 180 ton displacement or less, such as missile or torpedo armed FAC, patrol boats, and gunboats.

C-701 utilizes kinetic energy to penetrate armor on ship. Kinetic energy has closed relationship with density of materials. Tungsten alloy swaging rod has high density, which means it can carry more kinetic energy than other materials, improving penetration of C-701.
