2 жыл бұрын

This Video Present the APFSDS-T penetration against the various armor materials. The APFSDS-T dimensions and materials are equivalent to 120mm L23A1 APFSDS-T, while 700 mm thick armor with different materials (Aluminum alloy, steel, RHA, Tungsten Alloy, Depleted Uranium, Titanium, Plastic, Maraging Steel,Plastic, etc) are considered.
Note: Plastic does not used as vehicle armor as single material, but it can be used in composite armor with combination of others armor materials.

Maraging steel seems pretty ideal in this case, having comparable performance to depleted uranium and tungsten alloys while weighing half as much, likely being much less expensive, and also likely able to be produced in much larger quantities.

Yeah but if you want appropriate protection you need a crap ton more steel which is not just heavier in total but bulkier. And yeah it would be cheaper, but it's for a tank anyway. They're willing to spend the money

Well we need composites because HEAT, but it also saves weight when trying to make it immune to kinetic rounds. If you went with only steel, you’d need to consider HEAT performs best against that and now you need 8 feet of steel in multiple places

Even normal armor steel beats tungsten/DU in this kind of homogenous armor. In reality though, pretty much every modern tank uses composite armor, which combines materials like steel, plastics, ceramics and tungsten/DU, to get the most out of their specific properties. Its also used in a fairly complex setup, with lots of empty spaces inbetween armor plates. Something like an Abrams or Leo2 turret has way more space dedicated to armor than you might think.

4340 steel maybe low carbon steel but is at the very limit of what can be worked on in un hardened state by HSS tooling. It is much harder than mild steel and produces bright shiny parts that for use in home shop are more than enough hard without actual hardening needed. For tapping you need to produce taps with less than standard contact or be ready to break a lot of taps. This is rather tough material to work with.

Everybody thinks titanium is some kind of super material but really only two properties of it are advantageous - low density and moderate temperature resistance. Titanium is as strong as steel and as light as aluminum and it retains its strength well at 200 to 500C where aluminum and its alloys loose 90+% of their strength. But it is not better than hardened steel for armor nor is it good for very high temperatures (stainless steel and nickel super alloys are far better at this)

So my takeaway here is the reason why the Tungsten (narrowly) beat out Depleted Uranium must have been due to the Tungsten on Tungsten interaction resulting in, what my layman brain is going to dumb down to: having a better coefficient of fiction due to being like metals. _(or... 'worse' CoF?? I dunno whichever =: "moar friction happening" lmao)_ Either way... I still can't help but wonder now, about whether placing a plate of *W* _(ideal thickness needs simulating)_ overtop of Marriaging Steel - be it spaced or flush or spaced + slightly angled - might yield worthwhile results?? 🤔 If so, it could be selectively placed over critical parts of a vehicle. Athough, I'm suspecting using Tungsten would be prohibitively expensive, making it completely moot... *even if* the results happened to be insanely good 😕

Fun video but i have two comments. One, i don't think the depleted uranium would react this way as it is incredibly prone to shattering, i feel like it would have reacted differently. And the second would be the grammar, especially in <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="103">1:43</a>, it may not seem like much but bad spelling is a bit of an eyesore and reduces how professional you appear to be. But other than that, nice side by side view, always fun to watch a slab of different materials react to impacts!

it honestly made me laugh with how many things were misspelled on one slide
