ARMORED-CARCASS DEFORMABLE ALUMINUM ALLOY Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C22C21/10 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: invention proposes alloy comprising the following components, wt.-%: zinc, 4.7-5.3; magnesium, 2.1-2.6; chrome, 0.12-0.25; titanium, 0.03-0.10; zirconium, 0.07-0.12; beryllium, 0.0002-0.005; iron, 0.05-0.35; silicon, 0.05-0.25; boron, 0.0003-0.003; sodium, 0.0001-0.0008; copper, 0.2, not above, and aluminum, the balance. Proposed alloy provides enhancing the armor structure uniformity and its welded joints, to provide stable armor resistance of extended welded joints of armor and independently of location of units to be welded, to exclude splitting off from rear side of armor in case armor not piercing by a missile, to exclude possibility for decreasing tenacity of armor in exploitation including using under conditions of combination with external dynamic protection of armored-carcass and armored-carrying mechanized objects. Invention can be used in producing armor for armored-carrying equipment for protection against effect of affection agents.

EFFECT: improved and valuable technical properties of alloy.
