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 cubes are widely used in military applications due to their high density, strength, and durability. Some of the military applications of tungsten alloy cubes are:
1. Armor piercing projectiles: Tungsten alloy cubes are used to make armor piercing projectiles for tanks, artillery, and other military vehicles. The high density of tungsten allows the projectile to penetrate through thick armor.
2. Ballistic missiles: Tungsten alloy cubes are used as counterweights in the guidance systems of ballistic missiles. The high density of tungsten ensures that the missile stays on course and hits its target accurately.
3. Radiation shielding: Tungsten alloy cubes are used as radiation shielding in nuclear submarines, aircraft carriers, and other military vessels. The high density of tungsten helps to absorb and block radiation.
4. High-speed projectiles: Tungsten alloy cubes are used to make high-speed projectiles for anti-aircraft guns and other military weapons. The high density of tungsten ensures that the projectile maintains its speed and accuracy over long distances.
5. Armor plating: Tungsten alloy cubes are used to make armor plating for military vehicles, aircraft, and ships. The high strength and durability of tungsten make it an ideal material for protecting military assets from enemy fire.
Overall, tungsten alloy cubes are an essential component of many military applications due to their unique properties and high performance.
