Tungsten alloy armor plating is of high density, hardness and toughness. It is used in military equipment and military facilities to protect against certain physical attacks (including kinetic energy, thermal energy, electromagnetic radiation, etc.) and reduce the damage of protected targets. When an armor-piercing bullet hits tungsten alloy armor plating, the warhead's energy penetrates the armor, but the kinetic energy of the warhead is greater and damage is reduced, allowing the tungsten alloy armor plating to be preserved.
Compared with other armor materials, tungsten alloy armor plating is heavier, but it has better protective effect, which is 85 percent higher than aluminum alloy armor, 50 percent higher than alloy steel armor. In addition, tungsten alloy armor plating offers better protection to the fighters and tank crews.
