Ballistic performance testing of aluminum alloy 5059-H131 and 5059-H136 for armor applications /

The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) was tasked to investigate the ballistic performance of aluminum alloy (AA) 5059 to determine if it was a desirable alternate alloy for use as vehicle armor. Current alloys, such as AA5083 and AA7039, have high yield and tensile strengths and provide increased...
