Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein unterkalibriges Wuchtgeschoß nach dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruchs 1.The invention relates to a sub-caliber balancing projectile according to the preamble of patent claim 1.

Ein Wuchtgeschoß der vorgenannten Gattung ist bekannt aus der US-PS 4,353,305. Der Zwischenkörper umschließt in einer Hülle oder einer metallischen Einbettung vorgeformte Streuprojektile. Beim Auftreffen auf ein gepanzertes Ziel soll der Spitzenkörper gegen eine äußere Zielplatte eine Schadwirkung in Form eines Durchschlages oder einer Eindrückung entfalten.A kinetic energy projectile of the above type is known from the US - PS 4,353,305. The intermediate body encloses preformed scattering projectiles in a shell or a metallic embedding. When hitting an armored target, the tip body should develop a harmful effect in the form of a puncture or indentation against an outer target plate.

Ist das Ziel nur einfach gepanzert, sollen sich die Streuprojektile hinter der Zielplatte in Form eines Kegels verteilen und damit einen möglichst großen Raum in ihre Schadwirkung einbeziehen. Zur besseren Verteilung der Streuprojektile können die dem Zwischenkörper zugewandten Bereiche des Spitzen- und des Hauptkörpers spitzkegelig ausgebildet sein. Außerdem kann im Zentralbereich des Zwischenkörpers eine Sprengladung angeordnet sein, um die Streuenergie zu erhöhen. Bei einem mehrfach gepanzerten Ziel sollen die Streuprojektile gemeinschaftlich mit Bruchstücken aus der ersten Zielplatte und dem nachfolgenden Hauptkörper gegen eine zweite Zielplatte wirksam werden.If the target is simply armored, the scattering projectiles should be distributed behind the target plate in the form of a cone and thus include as large a space as possible in their harmful effects. To improve the distribution of the scattering projectiles, the regions of the tip and main body facing the intermediate body can be formed in a conical shape. In addition, an explosive charge can be arranged in the central region of the intermediate body in order to increase the stray energy. In the case of a multi-armored target, the scattering projectiles are intended to act jointly with fragments from the first target plate and the subsequent main body against a second target plate.

Nachteilig ist an diesem bekannten Wuchtgeschoß: sein Aufbau ist kompliziert und äufwendig nach Fertigung und Kosten; die vorgeformten Streuprojektile beeinträchtigen die Dichte des Zwischenkörpers (werden Kugeln verwendet, bleiben die Zwickelzwischenräume weitgehend ungenutzt); die Sprengladung beeinträchtigt die Dichte des Zwischenkörpers per se und Bedarf zudem eines Zünders, der sowohl den Aufbau kompliziert wie auch seinerseits zusätzlich die Dichte beeinträchtigt; die vorgeformten Streuprojektile führen zu einer schlechten Energiebilanz des bekannten Wuchtgeschosses im Ziel und schränken die Anpassung an eine jeweilige zielseitige Gegebenheit ein.The disadvantage of this known balancing projectile is that its construction is complicated and complex in terms of production and costs; the preformed scattering projectiles affect the density the intermediate body (if balls are used, the gusset spaces remain largely unused); the explosive charge affects the density of the intermediate body per se and also requires an igniter, which both complicates the structure and in addition also affects the density; the preformed scattering projectiles lead to a poor energy balance of the known balancing bullet in the target and restrict the adaptation to a given target situation.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Wuchtgeschoß der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, das vergleichsweise einfacher und billiger ist und sich durch höchstmögliche Dichte, eine gute Energiebilanz im Ziel und Anpassung an die zielseitigen Gegebenheiten auszeichnet.The invention has for its object to provide a balancing bullet of the type mentioned, which is comparatively simple and cheaper and is characterized by the highest possible density, a good energy balance in the target and adaptation to the target conditions.

Diese Aufgabe wird gelöst durch die im Kennzeichen des Patentanspruchs 1 angegebene Erfindung.This object is achieved by the invention specified in the characterizing part of patent claim 1.

Vorteilhafterweise führt das Wuchtgeschoß nach der Erfindung zu einem Splitterstreukegel mit einem größeren Spitzenwinkel. Zudem wird ein erheblicher Teil der Auftreffenergie in Wärme umgesetzt, die weitestgehend auf die sich aus dem Werkstoff des Zwischenkörpers bildenden Partikeln übergehen und so zu einer zusätzlichen Brandwirkung der Partikeln führen kann. Es bildet sich eine dichte Wolke aus zahlreichen Partikeln günstiger Größenverteilung und daraus resultiert im Mehrfachziel keinerlei Störung des Hauptkörpers.Advantageously, the balancing projectile according to the invention leads to a fragment scattering cone with a larger tip angle. In addition, a significant part of the impact energy is converted into heat, which largely passes over to the particles formed from the material of the intermediate body and can thus lead to an additional fire effect of the particles. A dense cloud is formed from numerous particles with a favorable size distribution and this does not result in any disturbance of the main body in the multiple target.

Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand zweier in der Zeichnung im wesentlichen schematisch dargestellter bevorzugter Ausführungsbeispiele näher erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail below with reference to two preferred exemplary embodiments which are shown essentially schematically in the drawing.

Es zeigen, jeweils im längsaxialen Schnitt:

  • Figur 1 ein erstes Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Erfindung und
  • Figur 2 ein zweites Ausführungsbeispiel nach der Erfindung.
They show, each in a longitudinal axial section:
  • Figure 1 shows a first embodiment of the invention and
  • Figure 2 shows a second embodiment of the invention.

Nach Figur 1 besteht ein nicht näher bezeichnetes Geschoß aus einem Hauptkörper 10, einem Zwischenkörper 12 und einem Spitzenkörper 14. Der Hauptkörper 10 ist in einem ebenen Stumpfstoßbereich 16 mit dem Zwischenkörper 12, beispielsweise durch Hartlöten oder Diffussionssintern verbunden. Eine entsprechende Verbindung zwischen dem Zwischenkörper 12 und dem Spitzenkörper 14 besteht in einem ebenen Stumpfstoßbereich 18. Heckseitig ist der Hauptkörper 10 mit einem Stabilisierungsflügel 20 aufweisenden Leitwerk versehen. Der Hauptkörper 10 und der Spitzenkörper 14 sind aus einem zähen Werkstoff gefertigt, dessen hohe Dichte durch einen großen Anteil an Wolfram oder abgereichertem Uran erzielt wird. Der Zwischenkörper 12 besteht vorzugsweise aus einer spröden Sinterlegierung mit großem Wolframanteil und einem ge-According to FIG. 1, a projectile, not designated in any more detail, consists of a main body 10, an intermediate body 12 and a tip body 14. The main body 10 is connected to the intermediate body 12 in a flat butt joint region 16, for example by brazing or diffusion sintering. A corresponding connection between the intermediate body 12 and the tip body 14 is in a flat butt joint area 18. The rear side of the main body 10 is provided with a stabilizer wing 20 having a stabilizer. The main body 10 and the tip body 14 are made of a tough material, the high density of which is achieved by a large proportion of tungsten or depleted uranium. The intermediate body 12 preferably consists of a brittle sintered alloy with a large proportion of tungsten and a

geringstmöglichen Anteil einer Bindemittelphase. Bei der Verwendung von abgereichertem Uran zum Erzielen der angestrebten hohen Dichte werden Sinterkörper aus Uranpulver mit einer geringstmöglichen Menge eines Metalls oder einer Metallegierung getränkt, dessen oder deren Schmelztemperatur unterhalb derjenigen des Urans liegt. Sowohl bei Wolfram wie auch bei Uran kann durch Tränkung mit der betreffenden Bindemittelphase in vorgebbarer radialer Erstreckung im Umfangsbereich bei ausreichender Festigkeit des Zwischenkörpers 12 vorteilhafterweise eine besonders hohe Sprödigkeit in dem nicht getränkten Bereich verwirklicht werden.lowest possible proportion of a binder phase. When using depleted uranium to achieve the desired high density, sintered bodies made of uranium powder are impregnated with the smallest possible amount of a metal or a metal alloy, the melting temperature of which is below that of the uranium. Both with tungsten and with uranium, a particularly high brittleness can advantageously be achieved in the non-impregnated region by impregnation with the relevant binder phase in a predeterminable radial extent in the circumferential region with sufficient strength of the intermediate body 12.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 unterscheidet sich von demjenigen nach Fig. 1 nur durch eine andere Gestaltung eines Zwischenkörpers 12' und eines Spitzenkörpers 14', die wiederum in einem ebenen Stumpfstoßbereich 18' in der bereits erwähnten Weise miteinander verbunden sind.The embodiment of FIG. 2 differs from that of FIG. 1 only by a different design of an intermediate body 12 'and a tip body 14', which in turn are connected to each other in a flat butt joint area 18 'in the manner already mentioned.

Beim zielseitigen Auftreffen des Geschosses nach der ErfindungWhen the bullet hits the target according to the invention

weiten die sich aus dem Zwischenkörper 12;12' bildenden Partikeln den Schußkanal auf und erzielen hinter einer ersten Zielplatte einen starken Blast-Effekt. Bei Beschüssen wurde beobachtet, daß die sich aus dem Werkstoff des Zwischenkörpers 12;12' bildenden Partikeln wirkungsvoller sind als vorgeformte Streuprojektile. Die Wirkung wird dadurch erhöht, daß beim zielseitigen Auftreffstoß entstehende Wärme weitgehend auf die Partikeln übergeht, so daß ihnen eine zusätzliche Brandwirkung innewohnt. Die Brandwirkung ist besonders hoch bei Verwendung des an sich bereits pyrophoren Urans. Ein weiterer Vorteil ergibt sich aus der nur geringen Größe der Partikeln aus dem Werkstoff des Zwischenkörpers 12;12': sie bilden für den weiter in das Ziel eindringenden Hauptkörper 10 bei Mehrfachpanzerung kein störendes oder ablenkendes Hindernis. Beim Ausführungsbeispiel nach Fig. 2 ergibt sich aus dem vergleichsweise geringeren Durchmesser des ebenen Stumpfstoßbereichs 18' vorteilhafterweise die Möglichkeit, daß sich ein umfangsseitiger Bereich des Zwischenkörpers 12' an dem Stoßbereich 18' in Schußrichtung bereits nach vorn bewegt, so daß die den Schußkanal aufweitende Wirkung der Werkstoffpartikeln-verstärkt wird. Insgesamt ergibt sich bei einem Geschoß nach der Erfindung eine besonders günstigethe particles forming from the intermediate body 12; 12 'expand the shot channel and achieve a strong blast effect behind a first target plate. During bombardment it was observed that the particles formed from the material of the intermediate body 12; 12 'are more effective than preformed scattering projectiles. The effect is increased by the fact that the heat generated at the target impact strikes largely on the particles, so that they have an additional fire effect. The fire effect is particularly high when using the already pyrophoric uranium. A further advantage results from the small size of the particles made of the material of the intermediate body 12; 12 ': they do not form a disruptive or distracting obstacle for the main body 10, which penetrates further into the target in the case of multiple armouring. In the embodiment according to FIG. 2, the comparatively smaller diameter of the flat butt joint region 18 'advantageously results in the possibility that a peripheral region of the intermediate body 12' on the joint region 18 'is already moving forward in the firing direction, so that the widening effect of the firing channel the material particles is reinforced. Overall, a projectile according to the invention is particularly favorable

Energiebilanz im Ziel. Dabei wird, im Gegensatz zu vorgeformten Streuprojektilen, vorteilhafterweise eine bessere Anpassung an zielseitige Gegebenheiten, beispielsweise Zielgestaltung und Auftreffwinkel, erreicht.Energy balance in the goal. In contrast to preformed scattering projectiles, a better adaptation to target-specific circumstances, for example target design and impact angle, is advantageously achieved.

Beim Einsatz gegen mehrlagig gepanzerte Ziele mit Keramik-und/oder Glasmoduln wird durch die Partikeln aus dem Zwischenkörper 12;12' ein großes Einschußloch in die Umhüllung der Moduln gerissen. Durch dieses können die Glas- und/oder Keramikbruchstücke entweichen und vermindern damit wesentlich die Hinderniseigenschaften der Moduln für den nachfolgenden Hauptkörper 10.When used against multilayer armored targets with ceramic and / or glass modules, the particles from the intermediate body 12; 12 ' tear a large bullet hole into the casing of the modules. This allows the glass and / or ceramic fragments to escape and thus significantly reduce the obstacle properties of the modules for the subsequent main body 10.

Ein weiterer besonderer Vorteil resultiert aus der Einfachheit des Geschoßaufbaues, die sich in einer kostengünstigen Fertigung niederschlägt.Another particular advantage results from the simplicity of the floor structure, which is reflected in cost-effective production.
