Unique Refractory Techniques for Fabricating Subterrene Penetrators

摘要

Rock-melting Subterrene penetrators are made of molybdenum, tungsten, and molybdenum-tungsten alloys. The environment of use is very severe and imposes limitations on fabrication approaches. Configurations are often more complex than those of most conventional refractory hardware. Appropriate fabrication techniques for present Subterrene penetrators and for up¬coming penetrator designs are discussed.
