Emerging Military Application of Refractory Metal Molybdenum
Emerging military application of refractory metal molybdenum:
Molybdenum has a very low vapour pressure in vacuum furnace temperature and pressure. Therefore, molybdenum components will produce the minimum pollution to operation materials in the furnace.
Apart form the traditional applications of refractory metal molybdenum, emerging military application of refractory metal molybdenum is as following:
Molybdenum can be used as liner of filling explosive warhead. This kind of warhead is able to penetrate and cut deep depth in military and industrial applications. In this type of device, explosives around the liner detonate in a controlled manner. the inner, which makes the liner deform in a very strange way. Deformation let lining material produce high speed, strong tension rod fragments which can deeply penetrate the targets.
The development of molybdenum explosive type cover is a new research field. The conventional warhead lining material is copper. While, the sound velocity of molybdenum is 5.12 km /sound. In order to obtain high speed relative jet, the sharp end of warhead must have high sound speed. Molybdenum explosive type cover can make the speed of spray tip be greater than 12 km / sec, while the use of copper is less than 10 km / sec. The high sound speed increases the energy of tip, thus increasing the force of penetration. The newest of explosive type cover has conical and horn type. Molybdenum replacing copper will be an important reform in military.
