Abstract
It is established that single-crystalline brittle materials exhibit a lower resistance to the penetration of hard projectiles as compared to analogous polycrystalline targets with the same composition and standard mechanical properties. This difference is explained by the fact that single crystals, in contrast to polycrystalline materials, exhibit a significant decrease in hardness in the initial stage of impact as compared to the value measured under standard conditions.
