Why is tungsten alloy called "war metal"?
Tungsten has the highest melting point among metals. Its outstanding advantage is that its high melting point brings good high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance to the material. It has shown excellent characteristics in the military industry, especially in weapons manufacturing. In the weapons industry, it is mainly used to make the warheads of various armor-piercing projectiles.
Tungsten alloy uses powder pretreatment technology and large deformation strengthening technology to refine the material's grains and elongate the grain orientation, thereby improving the material's strength, toughness and penetration power.
At present, tungsten alloy is widely used as the core material for main battle tank large aspect ratio armor-piercing projectiles, small and medium-caliber anti-aircraft armor-piercing projectiles and ultra-high-speed kinetic energy armor-piercing projectiles, which makes various armor-piercing projectiles have more powerful penetration power.
