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
Properties & application of tungsten heavy alloy in military
A military tungsten alloy cube is a cube-shaped object made from a high-density tungsten alloy that is specifically designed for military applications. Tungsten alloys are known for their exceptional strength, high density, and resistance to wear and corrosion, making them ideal for military use.
The cube shape allows for easy handling and stacking, making it convenient for storage and transportation. It can be used in various military applications, including:
1. Projectile ammunition: Tungsten alloy cubes can be used as the core material in armor-piercing projectiles. The high density of tungsten allows for greater kinetic energy transfer upon impact, increasing the effectiveness of the projectile.
2. Ballistic armor: Tungsten alloy cubes can be incorporated into body armor to provide enhanced protection against ballistic threats. The high density of tungsten helps to absorb and disperse the energy from incoming projectiles, reducing the risk of injury to the wearer.
3. Counterweights: Tungsten alloy cubes can be used as counterweights in military equipment, such as helicopters, tanks, and submarines. The high density of tungsten allows for precise balancing, improving stability and performance.
4. Radiation shielding: Tungsten alloy cubes can be used as radiation shielding in military applications, such as nuclear submarines and radiation therapy equipment. The high density of tungsten helps to absorb and block harmful radiation, protecting personnel and sensitive equipment.
Overall, military tungsten alloy cubes are versatile and durable objects that play a crucial role in various military applications, providing strength, protection, and balance.
