Tungsten alloy rod

A high strength tungsten alloy penetrator blank is a type of ammunition used primarily in anti-armor warfare. It is made from a dense, high-strength tungsten alloy which allows it to penetrate heavy armor more effectively than other types of ammunition.

The penetrator blank is the unshaped, raw form of the penetrator, which is later machined into a specific shape, usually a long, thin rod. This shape allows it to cut through armor more easily.

Tungsten is used because it is extremely dense and hard, but also because it is relatively abundant and cheaper than other dense materials like uranium. Its high melting point also means it won't melt or deform easily when it hits a target at high speed.

The penetrator is often used in kinetic energy penetrators, which are a type of armor-piercing ammunition. These rounds do not contain explosives; instead, they rely on the kinetic energy of the penetrator moving at high speed to pierce armor.

High strength tungsten alloy penetrator blanks are used in a variety of military applications, including tank rounds and anti-missile systems.

Know more about Tungsten Alloys Rod

Tungsten alloy rod is produced by mixing and pressing tungsten and other metal powders and sintering them into semi-product billets, which is worked by rolling or swaging into rod. It can be produced into any lengths as per requirement of customer with a smooth surface at diameters more than 3mm.

1.Density:16.5~18.75g/cc.

2.Composition: W(%)80~97%, W-Ni-Fe, W-Ni-Cu.

3.Surface:sinter / polish /swaged state.

4.Size：according to customer's requirment.

Performance of tungsten alloys

Small size with high density, high melting ponit,excellent wear resistance,good thermal stability,corrosion resistance,good shock resistance,high radiation absorption capacity, excellent impact resistance and crack resistance, and non-toxic enviromental protection is consistent with international environmental protection standards.

Applications for Tungsten Alloy Rod

Tungsten alloy rods can be machined further, which are usually used to:

Making the parts of counterweights for oil logging,rocket,statellite,aircraft,boats.

Radiation shielding, the aerospace, mechanical manufacture.

Sports fields, such as darts, billets, golf club and so on.
