Tungsten Alloy Rod in Armor-Piercing Cores

Tungsten alloy rod in armor-piercing cores is high specific gravity tungsten alloy rod with tungsten (W) as the main matrix and nickel (Ni), iron (Fe), and other alloying elements forming a binder phase structure. Featuring high density, high strength, good toughness, and precision machining capability, CTIA’s tungsten alloy rod is used in high-performance armor-piercing cores and precision components, providing stable penetration performance under high-speed impact conditions.

1. Characteristics of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Rod in Armor-Piercing Cores
(1) High Density
Density of 16.5–18.8 g/cm³ provides higher mass within the same volume, increasing cross-sectional density of the core and helping maintain velocity during flight for improved penetration performance.
(2) High Strength and Hardness
High strength and hardness provide strong compression and impact resistance, reducing deformation during high-speed impact and enabling more effective kinetic energy transfer to the target.
(3) Good Thermal Stability
Good thermal stability prevents significant softening under high-temperature and high-pressure conditions generated during launch and high-speed flight, maintaining structural integrity.
(4) Non-Radioactive Composition
The material contains no radioactive elements and provides better environmental adaptability and operational safety compared with depleted uranium materials.
(5) Good Machinability
Good machining performance enables the production of slender rod-shaped cores and precision structural components through forging, turning, grinding, and other processes.

2. Applications of CTIA’s Tungsten Alloy Rod in Armor-Piercing Cores
