Hypervelocity projectile perforation behavior of 6000 series aluminum alloys in the subcommittee of The Japan Institute of Light Metals was examined and compared commercial 6061 aluminum alloy. A two-stage light-gas gun was used for impact experiments at high velocities. Yield stress clearly affecte...
