Material Analysis of Projectile Hard Core
2015
Ammunition projectiles disposal armored facilities used hard core as the main effect. The hard core has a smaller diameter than the calibre of gun. The core of the projectile is made of tungsten carbide, titanium, molybdenum or depleted uranium with a hardness of 80 to 120 measures by the Rockwell hardness test. The core must be not only hard but also tough and have a high bending strength. Knowledge of the hard core chemical composition, which the attacker uses, is important in relation to provide ballistic protection, minimization of radioactive risk and optimization of conditions for disposing of old ammunition. The basic tool for detection of the necessary data is material analysis. This analysis provides information about the weight, chemical composition and material microstructure of the hard core.
