摘要
The environmental concern over the use of depleted uranium (DU) alloys as kinetic-energy (KE) penetrator for high strain rate applications has focussed the interest in tungsten alloys. However, in general, tungsten-based alloys exhibit about 10% lower performance than DU at high strain rate. This paper provides an update on some of the processing strategies adopted for fulfilling this objective. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
