Tungsten alloy armour-piercing bullet module is the important components of piercing ammunition. It is not only of great density, but also has a series of excellent properties, such as high strength, high hardness, good ductility, good mechanical processing performance, small thermal expansion coefficient, high thermal conductivity, good oxidation and corrosion resistance and good weldability.
Due to its excellent metal properties, tungsten alloy armour-piercing bullet module has improved its initial speed, direct range and shooting accuracy. Armor-piercing Bullet is the main kind of gun and anti-tank gun, which can be used to destroy armored targets such as tanks, self-propelled artillery, armored vehicles, ships and planes, as well as to destroy solid fortifications and concrete fortifications.
Tungsten alloy is a very difficult metal to fabricate and machine because of its high melting point and tensile strength. Tungsten in raw form is a fine, grey powder. To form a billet or preform, the powder is mixed with other powders and then sintered. The sintering process begins with a mold in the shape of a rod which is densely packed with the powders. The mold is then placed in an industrial oven, which reaches high temperatures. As the powders become hotter without reaching its crystallization temperature it becomes soft and adherent. Once cooled, the tungsten is hard, dense and in the shape of a rod. Ground tungsten alloy rods have been machined with diamond or silicon carbide tools to remove the coating and achieve a certain smoothness and diameter. Unlike other metal rods, tungsten alloy rods cannot be drawn, only ground. The own advantage of tungsten alloys and high technology ensure high quality of armour-piercing bullet module.
