The Response of a Heavy Tungsten Alloy During Shock Loading

POSTER

Abstract

Plate impact experiments have been performed to assess the behaviour of a heavy proprietary Tungsten alloy in the longitudinal orientation by means of manganin gauges. The Hugoniot curve is compared and contrasted against published data on pure Tungsten and a number of Tungsten alloys.
