Abstract

This study presents a method and research reusults of material selection for sabot of saboted armor-piercing bullets fired on pistols with caliber of 7.62 mm. The considered materials were aluminum A6061, special composites PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) and ULTEM1000 (Polyetherimide). These materials are lightweight and have excellent chemical-physical-mechanical properties, which meet harsh requirements about thermal resistance and impact resistance for sabot. A numerical method on Explicit Dynamics of ANSYS software was employed in the present work. The simulation result was validated by experiments. The comparision indicated that the obtained results in the study were accurate and can be used in material selection for sabot of saboted armor-piercing bullets fired on pistols with caliber of 7.62 mm and the proposed investigation method was reliable and can be applied in material selection for sabot of saboted armor-piercing bullet’s of different calibers.
