ABSTRACT:
The liner (16) and, optionally, the tamper (12) of a shaped charge and the sheathing of mild detonating cord, ignition cord, delay cord, etc., are advantageously made of a tin-copper- or tin-silver-based alloy that is preferably substantially lead-free and that contains not more than about 1 percent antimony. Certain of these alloys generally contain about 97 to 99.9 percent tin, and from 0.1 to 3 percent copper, and optionally not more than 1 percent antimony. Other embodiments contain from 96 to 99.5 percent tin and from 0.5 to 4 percent silver and are substantially free of antimony. Tin-silver alloys for use in the invention preferably have elongations of about 88 and densities that are generally greater than those of the tin-copper alloys.
