Problems solved by technology

However, when the existing aluminum alloy materials are used to prepare bullet casings, they have poor extrudability, low elongation, and are difficult to achieve large plastic deformation, and their strength, deformation, and high temperature resistance requirements cannot meet the requirements. Therefore, aluminum alloy materials replace copper Or steel materials are used in the manufacture of aluminum alloy shells, and there are technical difficulties

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of bullets and particularly relates to an aluminum alloy material and an application thereof in preparation of bullet shells. The aluminum alloy material includes, by weight, 4.0-7.0% Zn, 1.0-2.0% of Cu, 0.3-0.7% of Mn, 0.01-0.05% of rare earths, 0-0.05% of Ti, 0-0.05% of Cr, and Al. The bullet shells have advantages of high toughness, ablation resistance and good formability and are tolerant of instant high temperature and pressure generated in a bullet compartment and can form elastic deformation without breaking. The bullet shell can bear chamberpressure of 400 MPa and instant high temperature of 1000 DEG C, warhead initial speed can reach 1200 m / s, and problems of deformation, cracking and corrosion of the bullet shell are avoided; comparedwith a steel bullet shell, the bullet shell is reduced by more than 20% in total mass. The parameters can reach the standard of military, so that the bullet shell made of the aluminum alloy materialcan successfully replace a copper bullet shell or a steel bullet shell at present, thus reducing the weight of light weapons and improving maneuvering characteristics and combat capability of individual soldier.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bullets, more specifically, to an aluminum alloy material and its application in preparing bullet casings. Background technique [0002] The weight reduction of light weapons is the main way to improve the combat mobility of troops. Taking individual equipment as an example, the load of army soldiers in the Iraq war was as high as 35kg, exceeding the load standard by 10kg. On the Afghan battlefield, the average weight of an individual soldier is about 50kg. High-load marching weakens the mobility and combat capability of individual soldiers. As the core and key of individual equipment combat strikes, automated weapons reduce the weight of the system and maximize combat effectiveness. has become the ultimate goal of its development. The weight reduction of individual weapons and ammunition can effectively reduce the weight of soldiers and improve the mobility and combat capabilities of individual soldiers...
