Why tungsten heavy alloy is adopted in Military?
Nowadays, tungsten heavy alloy is increasingly adopted as the raw material to make parts of military products, such as bullet, armor and shells, shrapnel head, grenade, hunting gun, bullet warheads, bulletproof vehicles, tank panzers, cannons, firearms, etc. A major use for tungsten heavy alloy is in kinetic energy penetrators, where they are in direct competition with depleted uranium (DU). Recent investigations conducted at the Army Research Laboratory show that DU’s superior properties resulted from its ability to localize shear during ballistic penetration events. Therefore, it was argued that if localized shear can be imparted to tungsten heavy alloys, these alloys would exhibit penetration performance matching that of depleted uranium (which had become an environmental problem).

Product Description
Tungsten alloy military fittings are specialized components made from tungsten alloys that are used in various military applications. Tungsten alloys are known for their high density, strength, and resistance to heat and corrosion, making them ideal for military use. Some common tungsten alloy military fittings include:
1. Penetrators: Tungsten alloy penetrators are used in armor-piercing ammunition and artillery shells. The high density of tungsten allows for increased penetration power, making them effective against armored targets.
2. Kinetic Energy Penetrators (KEP): KEPs are used in tank ammunition and anti-armor projectiles. Tungsten alloy KEPs can penetrate thick armor due to their high density and ability to maintain their shape during impact.
3. Ballistic Plates: Tungsten alloy ballistic plates are used in body armor for military personnel. These plates provide enhanced protection against high-velocity projectiles and are lighter and more durable compared to traditional steel plates.
4. Shaped Charges: Tungsten alloy shaped charges are used in military applications such as anti-tank missiles and explosive devices. The high density of tungsten enhances the explosive force, allowing for greater penetration and destruction capabilities.
5. Counterweights: Tungsten alloy counterweights are used in military equipment such as helicopters, tanks, and submarines. These counterweights help balance the weight distribution, improving stability and maneuverability.
6. Radiation Shields: Tungsten alloy radiation shields are used in military applications where protection against radiation is required. The high density of tungsten provides effective shielding against gamma radiation, making it suitable for nuclear submarines and other military equipment.
Overall, tungsten alloy military fittings play a crucial role in enhancing the performance, durability, and effectiveness of various military equipment and weapons systems.
