What Are Tungsten Heavy Alloy Military Spheres?
Tungsten heavy alloy sphere is widely used for military purposes. Tungsten heavy alloy military sphere is usually consisted of W-Ni- Fe or W-Ni- Cu or even W-Ni-Cu-Fe, some tungsten alloys also contain Co, Mo, Cr, etc. Tungsten heavy alloy military sphere can be manufactured in many sizes.
Advantages of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Military Sphere
Very dense, 1.7 times heavier than lead, tungsten is
the ideal metal for military purposes. Tungsten is non-toxic and safe
material, so tungsten heavy alloy military sphere is often used to
replace lead. Owing to its great hardness and resistance to high
temperature, tungsten heavy alloy sphere is increasingly adopted for
military purposes and defense.
Applications of Tungsten Heavy Alloy Military Sphere
Tungsten heavy alloy military sphere can be also used
as bullets or pellets in various military applications such as pellets
used inside a shotgun shell. Lead shot and bullets have been banned in
many areas because of the environmental concerns.
The main substitute
materials are steel, bismuth and tungsten. The main advantages of
tungsten heavy alloy military sphere that is used as pellet is that it
is very dense, and very hard. The density allows the pellets to travel
longer distances without loosing energy, while the hardness allows the
pellets to keep their shape while being accelerated by the powder
charge, which increases the muzzle velocity.
Tungsten heavy alloy spheres are also used in hand grenade, armor
piercing projectile, prefabricated fragments. Tungsten heavy alloy
military sphere is small in volume and very dense. Allowing them to
penetrate armor and damage targets. Tungsten alloy has been used in
missile weapons, armor piercing ammunition, tungsten alloy bullet,
shrapnel head, core for armor-piercing bullet measurement, kinetic
energy penetrators, armor and shells.
