Tungsten alloy military armor piercing has high density, high hardness, excellent thermal stability, and large section density, which is conducive to the control of high-altitude flight of missiles. It is mainly used against armored vehicles, concrete underground bunkers, tanks and other targets.
Tungsten alloy military armor piercing depends on the gas at high temperature and high pressure of the bore to obtain the bigger initial kinetic energy, which has a stiff match against the tank armor. Under strong stress, the armor wall slowly hollows and eventually breaks, killing living forces and destroying the tank's internal systems.
Due to the higher initial speed and accuracy of the tungsten alloy military armor piercing, all its armor piercing performance is much higher than that of the shaped charge armor piercing projectile, especially for the tank equipped with composite armor.
