Stress-Corrosion Cracking of Liquid-Phase Sintered Tungsten Alloys

Abstract

This study addresses the stress-corrosion cracking susceptibility of liquid-phase sintered tungsten alloys during long-term storage. These alloys are used for kinetic energy penetrators in military applications and it is essential that the structural integrity of the penetrator is not diminished due to the combined action of the chemical environment and the residual manufacturing stresses.
