Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing a Projectile as in the introductory part of claim 1 is outlined in more detail.
  • Such a projectile is said to be for precision weapons, especially for precision rifles, where it is set up high accuracy even in long range and good Breakthrough performance arrives.
  • the floor has one over its entire surface Longitudinal core made of a high density material on, such as tungsten or sintered hard metal. Because the core is the Forms a projectile tip, this can be achieved when using a hard core will not be deformed before the shot.
  • a projectile of similar shape is from CH-A-0 318 865 known; this well-known projectile is said to be special have a light core and is therefore for the shot long distance and good penetration not suitable.
  • GB-A-2 244 119 also proposes Kern and To produce the jacket cover separately and then these two put together. Then this gets to the core rolled on. But it can also happen when rolling on Material flow come in the circumferential direction.
  • the finished outer contour by clamping the Bullet core and turning achieved.
  • the axis of rotation of the finished projectile exactly with the clamping axis of the projectile core coincides, and that the floor contour with practical any accuracy can be produced.
  • the projectile core blank can, for example, by all common manufacturing processes are manufactured. It is however, it is particularly advantageous that for the production of the Projectile core blanks with a blank on the front Centering tip and at the rear with a centering hole is provided and then added between tips and is processed (claim 2).
  • the projectile core thus has an axis of rotation that with its clamping axis and - due to the invention Process - also with the longitudinal axis of the finished Projectile axis coincides.
  • the jacket blank can be made separately from the projectile core or by applying it to the core of the floor getting produced.
  • the separately manufactured blank shell is preferred pushed onto the barrel of the projectile core blank and there plastically deformed radially inwards (claim 3).
  • the material of the later jacket is placed on the Shank of the projectile core blank in the composite casting, by spraying, Sintering, casting, vapor deposition, galvanic Application or the like applied until the excess is reached (Claim 4).
  • plastic will preferably be sprayed onto the shaft, while a tombac or aluminum jacket separately preformed and connected to the shaft.
  • the floor shown consisting of a core 2 and a coat 1, is considered a relatively long top floor designed with a conical tail and for firing made up of a swirled barrel.
  • the finished Gechoß (Fig. 1 and the extended Outlines in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3) has a bullet tip 3, the length of which is part of the total length of the projectile forms; continue a projectile body and a Bullet tail 9, which together is another part of the bullet length take and from a projectile core shaft 4 be pushed through in the middle.
  • the projectile core shaft 4 is in the essentially cylindrical and has an outer diameter on the smaller, e.g. 2/3 than the largest outside diameter of the floor.
  • the shaft 4 is surrounded by the jacket 1, the outer contour continues continuously in the outer contour of the floor tip 3.
  • the jacket 1 on its outside to be smooth or to have punctures (floating) from which one can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2 and of guide zones 11 is limited to the front and back.
  • the shaft 4 ends in a shoulder 6 Rear section 4a, the diameter of which is smaller than that of the shaft 4 and e.g. 2/3 of the shaft diameter is.
  • the shaft 4 ends in a conical shape tapered section 4b which is integral with the Tip 3 flows into.
  • the maximum diameter of the tip 3 is considerably larger than that of the shaft in this area 4, so that the rear end of the tip 3 over the Shaft 4 protrudes and forms a ring step 5.
  • the one tapered shaft portion 4b facing end surface of the Tip 3 forms a very flat conical surface.
  • the angle between the contour of the conically tapered shaft section 4b and the adjacent flat cone surface of the tip 3 preferably about 90 °.
  • the jacket 1 is close to the outer surface of the shaft 4 and thus positively engages both in the tapered shaft section 4b behind the ring step 5 as also in the rear shaft section 4a.
  • the rear floor surface 12 of the floor one flat, round transom, its wreath-shaped outside area from coat 1 and its interior from Shaft 4 of the core 2 is formed.
  • In the middle of the interior there is a center hole 10.
  • the core 2 is at the foremost end of the tip 3 as a pointed nose cone.
  • the nose cone Only in the area of the tip 3 is the core blank 7 the nose cone extends towards the stern and goes into one cylindrical section over whose outside diameter is larger than the largest outer diameter of the core 2 after finishing.
  • the end face of the core blank 7 is with the center hole 10 provided.
  • a jacket blank 8 becomes a tubular one Sleeve formed, which is pushed onto the shaft and there is pressed so tight that the material of the blank jacket 8 (dash-double-dotted outline) all around the paragraph 6 in the taper on the ring step 5, against this, as well as against the entire length of the outside of the Stems firmly.
  • the blank blank thus formed is between again the center bore 10 and the nose cone and machined along an outer surface so that the extended Contour line is reached, with a steady transition is produced between tip 3 and jacket 1. If necessary the bottom surface 12 is also reworked.
