The susceptibility to adiabatic shear banding (ASB) of tungsten heavy alloys (WHAs) is a key factor to determine their penetration performance for kinetic energy penetrators (KEPs). This work reports a novel WHA with strong susceptibility to ASB that uses a precipitation-hardening high-entropy alloy (HEA) as the binding phase of W particles. The results find that nanoscale L12 precipitates and high dislocation density in the matrix contribute a high dynamic yield strength of ~2300 MPa. Also, a narrow ASB with a width of ~12 μm forms in the novel WHA, which is only 6% of the width of ASB in traditional WHAs like W-NiFe, exhibiting a great susceptibility to ASB. The redissolution of precipitates into the matrix because of temperature rise during shearing could sharply soften the shearing location, which is suggested to be a very important factor of destabilizing mechanism to promote the development of ASB.
