Penetration Performance of Depleted Uranium Alloys Liner

In the present study, we redesigned the structure of a depleted uranium alloys liner to analyze its penetration performance using numerical simulation results on the basis of a copper liner, and compared the penetration capability of two liners, made of copper and uranium-niobium alloys respectively by penetration experiments.The results show that, with almost the same quality of the main charge, the maximum penetration depth of the depleted uranium liner was 33.4% bigger than that of the copper liner.
