Damage performance of a shaped charge liner fabricated from Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr alloy

Abstract The change of the liner material directly affects penetration and damage performance shaped charge. In this paper, Ti-29Nb-13Ta-4.6Zr (TNTZ) was used as charge liner. Autodyn software to analyze jet formation TNTZ liner, then static explosion test conducted liners. following conclusions were obtained: A structure proposed for alloy, simulation shows that a with acceptable L/D ratio formed, head velocity around 6000 m/s. successfully ignited fuel tank after penetrating steel target due chemical reaction. For tests on C35 concrete targets, has horizontal effect which leads tunnel large diameter, however depth is smaller compared Cu Such behavior makes good candidate forward tandem warheads.
