Intrusion features of a high-speed striker of a porous tungsten-based alloy with a strengthening filler in a steel barrier

摘要

The complex problem of increasing the penetrating power of strikers based on highly porous tungsten composites is considered by improving their strengthening properties by alloying the hardening components under high-speed collision conditions. Using the method of liquid-phase sintering, we fabricated samples of strikers based on a porous WNiFeCo alloy (tungsten + nickel + iron + cobalt), alloyed with tungsten carbide with cobalt (WCCo8) and titanium-tungsten carbide (TiWC). Dynamic tests of the strikers from the developed alloys were carried out at the collision velocity with a steel barrier of the order of 2800 m/s. The penetration depth of the striker based on a porous WNiFeCo alloy doped with tungsten carbides is 30% higher than the penetration depth of a striker of a monolithic WNiFe-90 alloy (tungsten + nickel + iron with a tungsten content of 90%).
