Tungsten alloy shaped charge liner is one of the key parts of the high explosive anti-tank warhead, whose performance will directly affect the quality of the jet. Tungsten alloy shaped charge liner has the advantages of high melting point, high density, high sound velocity, good ductility, and high jet velocity. Wherein, high density and good ductility ensure that the jet can be fully stretched without breaking before erosion. And high jet velocity can reduce the effectiveness of the reaction armor. However, such a shaped charge liner also has the disadvantages of lower total jet length and sensitivity to radial disturbances.

Tungsten alloy warhead is well-known in military field now. You know, warhead is a very important component of armor-piercing projectiles, rocket projectiles, and missiles that can kill and destroy enemy weapons and equipment, facilities, and enemy effectives. Tungsten alloy is widely used in various warhead materials because of their unique properties, such as high density, high melting point, high strength, and good machinability.

Tungsten alloy is the most proper material for core material of armor piercing shell. Why tungsten alloy has a wide application as the core material in armor-piercing projectile? Tungsten alloy has high strength and good toughness, and is easy to be processed into cores with large length and slenderness ratio to achieve a large penetration depth and high penetration efficiency. Also, it has good terminal ballistic power and acceptable cost.

Rocket projectile is usually composed of a warhead, a rocket engine, and a stabilizer. And tungsten alloy such as W-Ni-Fe or W-Ni-Cu alloy balls are used in the warhead of rocket projectile. It has been reported that the warhead of the dual-purpose cluster bombs in the WS-2 rocket projectiles adopt tungsten alloy material. Its attack accuracy is very high and the attack range can reach 360 kilometers.
