ML00144 — Impact of a .380 Winchester on Ti64 PlateM - Ti6Al4VP - Rolled PlateAp - StructureCd - Non-Pierced
Micrography of the damaged plate at the side of the bullet impact, top of the figure. The projectile sheared the plate but did not perforate it, and the projectile materials (Cu and Pb) deposited at the .surface. HF+HNO3+H2O chemical etch.

Cm - Micrography by OMDf - Ductile Crack
Micrography of the damaged plate at the side of the bullet impact, top of the figure. The projectile, impacted in the right side of the crack, sheared the plate but did not perforate it and created several longitudinal ductile secondary cracks. HF+HNO3+H2O chemical etch.

Cm - Micrography by OMDf - Ductile Crack
Micrographic detail of the damaged plate (the side of the bullet impact is to the top of the figure). The projectile, in the right side, sheared the plate but did not perforate it and created longitudinal ductile secondary cracks in the middle of the thickness. HF+HNO3+H2O chemical etch.
