Description
Summary:The article presents results of examination of the new alloy 7020M intended to be used in shipbuilding. The examination concerned impact properties, verified on a numerical model, and the resistance to perforation (ballistic resistance). Impact and ballistic resistance tests aimed at increasing the operational safety of marine construc-tions to be made of this alloy under the threat of gunfire or explosion.
