摘要:
An armor component produced from a 7xxx series aluminum alloy, wherein the aluminum alloy consists essentially of: - 8.4 wt.% ≤ Zn ≤ 10.5 wt.%; - 1.3 wt.% ≤ Mg ≤ 2 wt.%; - 1.2 wt.% ≤ Cu ≤ 2 wt.%; - at least one dispersoid forming element with a total dispersoid forming element content higher than 0.05 wt.%; - the remainder substantially aluminum, incidental elements and impurities; wherein the 7XXX alloy is in the form of a plate having a thickness of 0.5 - 3 inches; wherein the 7XXX alloy is over-aged to achieve: (i) a fragment simulated particles V50 ballistic limit such that: V50 (FSP 20mm) > 1633 T2 - 1479 T + 1290 where T is the thickness plate (unit: inch) and the unit of V50 is feet/s. (ii) an armor piercing V50 ballistic limit such that: V50 (0.30cal AP M2) > -282 T2 + 1850 T + 610 where T is the thickness plate (unit: inch) and the unit of V50 is feet/s.

摘要:
The present invention relates to wrought 7xxx aluminum alloy product comprising in weight % Zn 6.7 - 7.4, Mg 1.35 - 1.75, Cu 1.85 - 2.35, Zr 0.04 - 0.14, Mn 0 - 0.5, Ti 0 - 0.15, V 0 - 0.15, Cr 0 - 0.25, Fe ≤0.05, Si≤0.05 with a Fe+Si ≤ 0.08 % and artificially aged wherein the total equivalent aging time t(eq) at 155°C is comprised from 24 hours to 45 hours which permits to optimize the compromise between tensile yield strength and toughness with improved cryogenic fracture toughness and fatigue resistance in corrosive environment.
摘要:
The present application relates to armor components made of high strength aluminum, such as 7xxx series aluminum alloys, which may be employed in civil or military ballistic protection systems. It relates more particularly to armor components such as armor hull walls and add-on armor appliques in vehicles.
