Tungsten alloy armor-piercing core is the main body of penetrator, which is also a key position. It is made from high density tungsten alloy, and fracture density is big, so it plays core ability and improve the deposit in flight speed of steel plate penetration ability, improve the penetrator fatal blow to the motion of the armor.
Tungsten alloy is a kind of metal material with high temperature resistance and good thermal stability. The core is subjected to high pressure and high temperature environment inside the armor-piercing projectile. The core made of tungsten alloy will not bind and deform even under high temperature and high pressure. Moreover, tungsten alloy has a high hardness and is resistant to pressure and tension. It is basically non-deformation when wearing armor. After breaking through armor, it forms fragments, which increases the killing and burning effect.
