Influence of cryogenic treatment on mechanical and ballistic properties of AA5754 alloy friction stir welded joints

open access: yesDefence Technology
In the present study, the mechanical and ballistic properties of friction stir welded (FSW) aluminum alloy (AA5754) samples were investigated, both untreated and cryogenically treated, when impacted by a 7.62 mm armour-piercing (AP) bullet at an impact ...

Testing of some Ballistic Experiments [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1901
WHEN the Council of Military Education directed my attention to the science of ballistics in 1864, I came to the conclusion that a thoroughly good chronograph would solve all practical difficulties. The newly-invented instrument was first tried in 1865 with ten screens 120 feet apart, by the ue of a 12-pr. Armstrong B.L.

Fabrication of AA7005/TiB2-B4C surface composite by friction stir processing: Evaluation of ballistic behaviour

open access: yesDefence Technology, 2019
The present work aims to enhance the ballistic resistance of AA7005 alloy by incorporating the TiB2 and B4C ceramic reinforcement particles. Surface composites with different weight fractions of TiB2 and B4C particles were processed by friction stir ...
