description For research the behavior and after effects which had been resulted from the coated reactive fragments impacting the steel targets, the 14.5mm ballistic rifle had been adopted to complete the experiments that the 6mm Q235A steel targets was impacted by the steel fragments and the reactive fragments, composed by metal/ polymer coated with steel, with the same mass and size. Afterwards, the v50 ballistic-limited velocity and the law of the damage effects on the after effect-targets had been discovered. The results indicate that the integral strength of the coated reactive fragments was lower than that of the inert steel fragments, which lead to the reductions of the penetration performance. The v50 ballistic-limited velocity, resulted of the coated reactive fragments impacting the 6mm Q235A steel targets, was 709m/s and it was 1.33 times than that of the steel fragments with the same mass and size. The reaming enhanced effects on the after effect-targets could be produced in the condition that the impact velocity of coated reactive fragments should be greater than 900m/s while the residual velocity should be greater than 181m/s, and that it had been strengthened along with the impact velocity increased. The probable reasons of the damage enhanced effects had been analyzed that the coupled damage effects had been resulted from two parts energy. The results will provide important references to the engineering application of reactive fragments for warheads.
