Frangible ammunition

Frangible bullets
Compacted copper powder
Net shape, low cost
Multi-cavity tooling design results in cost reduction

Frangible bullets made of powdered metal. ASCO Sintering using copper alloys as the most common element is powdered copper. The powdered material is compacted into various shapes and densities.

Frangible bullets hit the target less than lead bullets because after the disintegration, the causing particles have less mass and therefore less momentum to drive them through a medium.

Using conventional powder metallurgy to manufacture frangible bullets allows producing parts to lower density. That helps to disintegrate into powder on impact
