The Research Status of the Preparation and Properties of the Tungsten Heavy Alloy

Abstract

Due to the excellent physical and chemical characteristics and mechanical properties of the tungsten heavy alloy (WHA), the WHAs have been widely applied in many areas of the national economy. In this paper, the concept of the WHA is introduced briefly, and the preparation process and properties of the WHAs are summarized. Compared with depleted uranium alloy, the WHA shows broad application prospects in the field of kinetic energy projectile.
