A method for direct shaping and optimizing the mechanical properties of the tank projectiles made of tungsten alloys with a high specific weight.

摘要

This invention relates to a process for directly forming and for optimising the mechanical characteristics of armour-piercing projectiles. …??This process involves using a blank of ductile heavy metal having an axis of revolution and mass per unit volume at least equal to 17000 kg/m3 and is characterised in that the said roughly prepared blank is subjected to a finishing treatment at a temperature between ambient temperature and 500 DEG C and at a rate variable in a direction parallel to the axis of the blank. …??This process is used in military munitions. …IMAGE…
