Tungsten Alloy-Tungsten & Depleted Uranium Penetrator

      The lifespan of an armor-penetrating bullet is very short, usually less than five seconds. The bullet leaves a 30 mm cannon GAU-8 Avenger with a velocity of 3,500 feet per second. At this speed the bullet reaches its destination in the blink of an eye. When it strikes a tank, the bullet's penetrator pierces the armor, leaving an aluminum jacket (also called casing) outside, and starts a fire from fuel and ammunition inside an armored vehicle. This is it, end of the story.
      Tungsten alloy is widely used in military defense, such as depleted  uranium penetrator , bullet, armor piercing, rifle bullet, snipe rifle penetrator etc. Tungsten alloy has many advantages as follows:
-high density
-high melting point
-small volume
-excellent hardness
-high ductility 
-high temperature resistance
