Title: Non-lead, environmentally safe projectiles and method of making same

Full Record
Other Related Research

Abstract

A projectile, such as a bullet, is made by combining two different metals in proportions calculated to achieve a desired density, without using lead. A base constituent, made of a material having density greater than lead, is combined with a binder constituent having less density. The binder constituent is malleable and ductile metallic phase material that forms projectile shapes when subjected to a consolidation force, such as compression. The metal constituents can be selected, rationed, and consolidated to achieve desired frangibility characteristics.

Non-lead environmentally safe projectiles and explosive container

Patent Lowden, Richard A [Clinton, TN]; McCoig, Thomas M [Maryville, TN]; Dooley, Joseph B [Kingston, TN]; ...

A solid object having controlled frangibility, such as a bullet or a container for explosives, is made by combining two different metals in proportions calculated to achieve a desired density, without using lead. A wetting material is deposited on the base constituent which is made of a relative dense, hard material. The wetting material enhances the wettability of the base constituent with the binder constituent, which is lighter and softer than the base constituent.
