Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a perforating projectile of caliber less than or equal to 40 mm.
  • the invention also relates to a cartridge comprising such a perforating projectile as well as the method for the manufacture thereof.
  • Known perforating projectiles most often comprise a shell of metal or ductile alloy such as copper or brass which surrounds a core of hard metal such as hardened steel or tungsten carbide embedded in lead.
  • the core of the piercing projectile has on its rear part a Morse cone which is fitted into a complementary cone formed in a guide or shoe made of ductile metal which thus partially covers the hard core.
  • This assembly method makes it possible to obtain good conditions for rotating the core.
  • This projectile thus has a satisfactory perforating power.
  • undulations are made on the outer face of the guide in order to limit the friction between this outer surface and the scratches formed inside the barrel of the shooting weapon.
  • a perforating projectile comprising a hard core, the rear part of which is covered by a guide or shoe made of ductile material.
  • the fixing of this guide on the core is carried out by welding, brazing, gluing, overmolding or by metallic deposit.
  • a perforating bullet according to the preamble of claim 1 has been described and comprising a hard core surrounded by a soft metal casing which is bonded to the core by means of a push-back or shrinking process which makes penetrate the soft metal into recesses existing on the surface of the core.
  • the outer surface of the soft casing remains smooth, so that this casing offers a high friction resistance during its movement inside the barrel of the shooting weapon.
  • the object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of known embodiments, by creating a perforating projectile in which the core and the guide are linked together in such a way that the rotation of the assembly takes place under optimal conditions. and in which the guide has undulations on its outer surface which reduce the friction of the projectile inside the barrel of the shooting weapon, such a projectile being easy and inexpensive to manufacture.
  • the perforating projectile of caliber less than or equal to 40 mm aimed by the invention comprises a core having a front point, this core being of a hard or high density metal or metal alloy, surrounded at the rear of its point by a generally cylindrical guide of ductile metal, the part of the core which is surrounded by the guide having projections and recesses and the guide being crimped on this part of the core by radial compression so that the interior surface of the guide is linked axially and in rotation to said part of the core by means of the projections and recesses of the latter.
  • this projectile is characterized in that the guide is crimped onto said part of the core by electromagnetic forming and in that said part of the core has undulations, the internal surface of the guide in contact with said part of the core conforming to the profile of these undulations and the external surface of the guide reproducing the profile of these undulations being predetermined so that those reproduced on the external surface of the guide having the desired ballistic properties.
  • ductile metal is meant a metal or alloy more ductile than the steel of the barrel of the shooting weapon.
  • Crimping by electromagnetic forming which is known per se in particular from US Pat. No. 4,523,872, consists in introducing the core covered with the guide into a solenoid.
  • the magnetic field generated by this solenoid develops intense forces (Laplace forces) for a few microseconds which not only compress the guide radially on the nucleus, but also make it possible to obtain a true weld, by diffusion of atoms, between this guide and the core.
  • ductile metal such as copper or an alloy such as brass for the guide and steel for the core is optimal for the implementation of electromagnetic forming.
  • this electromagnetic forming thus makes it possible to obtain an excellent bond between the guide and the core, while being perfectly suited to industrial mass production.
  • the dimensions of the guide and of the core do not need to be adjusted with very great precision, since the deformations generated during crimping make it possible to compensate for dimensional differences.
  • the perforating projectile of caliber less than or equal to 40 mm comprises a core 1 having a front point 2 of conventional ogival shape.
  • This core 1 is made of a metal or hard and / or high density metal alloy such as hardened steel and is surrounded at the rear of its tip by a guide 3 of generally cylindrical shape made of ductile metal, such as copper or brass.
  • the part 4 of the core 1 which is surrounded by the guide 3 has projections 5 and recesses 6 and the guide 3 is crimped onto this part 4 of the core by radial compression, so that the inner surface of the guide 3 is axially linked and in rotation to said part 4 of the core via the projections 5 and the recesses 6 of the latter.
  • the guide 3 is crimped on the part 4 of the core 1 by electromagnetic forming.
  • the ogival tip 2 of the core is connected to the part 4 surrounded by the guide 3, by an annular shoulder 7 whose radial width corresponds substantially to the thickness e of the wall of the guide 3, the edge of the latter being in abutment against this shoulder 7.
  • the projections 5 and the recesses 6 formed on the part 4 of the core consist of annular undulations and the inner surface of the guide 3 in contact with this part 4 of the core follows the profile of these ripples.
  • the outer surface of the guide 3 has corrugations 8 which follow the profile of the corrugations 5 formed on the part 4 of the core.
  • the profile of these corrugations 5 is predetermined as a function of the profile sought for the external corrugations 8 of the guide.
  • the maximum diameter di of the pointed tip 2 is slightly less than the through caliber of the barrel of the projectile weapon.
  • the maximum diameter d 4 of the part 4 of the core 1 is less than the diameter d 1 so that the thickness e of the wall of the guide 3 is sufficient to allow its deformation when it comes into engagement with the grooves of the barrel of the weapon.
  • This thickness e is of the order of mm.
  • the amplitude of the corrugations 8 is between 0.5 and 1 mm.
  • the undulations 5 formed on the part 4 of the core 1 are such that the maximum diameter d 4 is equal to d 2 - 2e (d 2 being equal to the caliber of the projectile) and that the minimum diameter ds of the guide is equal to d 3 - 2e (ds being equal to the minimum diameter of the guide which is equal to di in the example of FIG. 1).
  • the undulations 8 the profile of which is constituted in the example of FIG. 1 by successively concave or convex equal arcs of circle, comprise at least two arcs forming bumps which ensure perfect guidance of the projectile inside the barrel, all by limiting friction. Furthermore, the amplitude of these undulations 8 is sufficiently small and their radius is large enough not to affect the aerodynamic properties of the projectile.
  • the part 4 of the core 1 has, opposite the tip 2, a substantially frustoconical surface 9, the small base 10 of which coincides with the rear end of this part.
  • the inner surface of the guide 3 has a substantially frustoconical surface complementary to this substantially frustoconical surface of the part 4 of the core and the guide 3 has a rear wall 11 pressed against the rear end 10 of the core 1.
  • This device comprises a solenoid 13 surrounding the guide 3 engaged on the part 4 of the core 1.
  • This solenoid 13 is connected to a generator 14 of electric current.
  • a capacitor 15 is arranged in parallel with the terminals of the solenoid 13, a capacitor 15 is arranged.
  • the electrical circuit further comprises a charge switch 16 and a discharge switch 17.
  • the copper or brass used for the guide 3 and the steel used for the core 1 form a pair of ideal materials for the implementation of the electromagnetic forming process.
  • the core steel is preferably Z 85 WDCV 6542 steel.
  • Another advantage of this process lies in the fact that it allows, in a single operation, to reproduce on the surface of the guide 3 the undulations which make it possible to limit the friction inside the barrel of the shooting weapon.
  • the guide 3 can be obtained from a simple drawn tube. Furthermore, the corrugations formed on the core do not need to be machined with precision, since the electromagnetic forming gives the corrugations of the guide a smooth surface, even if the corrugations of the core are not machined with great precision. On the contrary, a surface of the core not precisely machined, leaving micro-roughness, is favorable to the adhesion between the guide and the core.
  • the shape of the corrugations formed on the part 4 of the core 1 may be different from that shown in FIG. 1.
  • the guide 3 could be devoid of bottom and made from a simple drawn tube, which further reduces manufacturing costs.
