Abstract

The dynamic strength of heavy 90W—7Ni—3Fe alloy (wt %) was studied on two types of specimens: formed from submicron powder by spark plasma sintering (SPS) and from coarse-grained powder with a particle size of ≈20 µm by standard liquid phase sintering (LPS). Mhe study shows that the dynamic strength of the LPS and SPS specimens ranges up to 2750 and 3150 MPa, respectively, and that the SPS projectiles at an impact velocity of 1200 m/s penetrate 60% deeper into a steel target than the LPS projectiles. The difference in the penetration depth results from different penetration mechanisms: piercing for the coarse-grained material and cratering for the fine-grained one.
