Sintering effect on the performance of tungsten-copper powder liner

In order to study the properties of high-temperature sintered tungsten-copper powder shaped charge liner, the tungsten powder and copper powder, whose particle size is below 20 mu m, were chosen as the main material. The mixed powder were directly pressed into the desired shape of the charge liner by the top direct-pressure way. The microscopic morphology of the spinning shaped charge liner, and the particle properties of the copper and tungsten powder were studied with scanning electron microscopy. The experimental results showed that the irregular copper powder and regular tungsten powder both are effectively and hightemperature sintering, which can improve the compactness of the powder liner effectively. The wall thickness and density of the no sintered and sintered liner were tested, showing that sintering thinned down the wall thickness and improved the density. The penetration depth of no sintered powder liner, sintered powder liner and the spinning copper plate liner were respectively tested in different standoff, showing that the penetration properties of sintered powder liner are well.
