TunshelArmour™ Tungsten Coated Armour & Tungsten Coated Shell

Use of the radioactively poisonous artillery shells or whole tungsten volume shells in warfare is indefensible and abhorrent.

TunshelArmour™

Armour outer plating would be served well by tungsten coated steel with Nular paneling and an final, inner plate layer of conventional steel, sink bolted together. An exoframe of tungsten coated steel covers the seams of the outer plating and adds structural support.

The plates should be held together by sink bolts made of a harder carbide metal than the plating. The thick, hard sink bolts will allow the plates to slide over them, on impact. That delivers restorative compression of the armour cladding. The armoured vehicle or armoured structure would be covered in tessellated armour cladding.

That configuration allows for kinetic displacement when the platform is struck - dispersing the energy, kinetically in all directions and as de-formation in the Nular. The platform will have restorative reflexive armour plating, akin to the back plating of a crocodilian.

Tunshel™

There is a fortunate alternative to that status quo. Conventional steel shells, coated in tungsten hide, will perform better than both mechanically and economically.

Tunshel is a methodology for shells and armour. Where tungsten was described any metal or hardened substance such as Carbide can substitute the tungsten. The inner material can be any weight bearing or structural bracing material. (See Carbide™ - Hardened Alloys and Semiconductors.)
