Nowadays, tungsten heavy alloy is progressively adopted since the raw
substance to create components of army products, which include bullet,
armor and shells, shrapnel head, grenade, hunting gun, bullet warheads,
bulletproof vehicles, tank panzers, cannons, firearms, etc. A principal
use for tungsten heavy alloy is in kinetic vitality penetrators, in
which they are in instant rivalry with depleted uranium (DU).
Tungsten is a naturally occurring metal. Tungsten can be used in
pure form or mixed with other metals to make alloys. Tungsten alloy
tend to be strong, flexible, and resistant to wear. Tungsten and its
alloys are used in a variety of commercial products including light
bulb filaments, x-ray tubes, welding electrodes, grinding wheels,
ceramic pigments, and fire retardants.
Numerous countries have used tungsten and various tungsten
alloy munitions for a number of years because of its high density and
resulting penetrating power for armor piercing rounds. Are there
tungsten alloys in the Army's "green bullet"? The "green bullet" is a
common term for the lead-free, small arms ammunition developed by the
Army in an effort to provide soldiers with
ammunition that is
environmentally friendly. Military Tungsten alloy are
not used in the "green" or lead-free bullet. "Green" bullets typically
contain tungsten that is mixed together with either nylon or tin.
Tungsten alloys, on the other hand, contain other metals, such as
nickel, cobalt, iron, or copper, which are heated to high temperature
that allows the materials to bond together. While the "green" bullet
has been used in training operations at a limited number of Army
installations, it has not been used on the battlefield.
