Design and penetration of a new W-particle/Zr-based amorphous alloy composite liner

In this paper, in order to boost the power of shaped charge, a new type of W-particle/Zr-based amorphous alloy composite liner embedded with a restraining cylinder is designed, which is different from the original shaped charge structure. The inner restraining cylinder divides the charge into two coaxial columns: inner and outer, which changes the flow mode of the material in the liner and improves the utilization rate of explosive charge. For the first time, W-particle/Zr-based amorphous alloy (W/Zr amorphous) was used to replace the traditional copper, enhancing the penetration depth and increasing the aftereffect. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that the new type of liner is feasible with great advantages. The static explosion test shows that the penetration depth of W/Zr amorphous liner is 66.35% higher than that of the copper liner, and the overpressure behind the target is 0.24 MPa. Moreover, the jet is more stable without pestle. This is a new type of composite liner with wide application prospect.
