Abstract
A uranium-base alloy consists essentially of the formula U.sub.bal --Ti.sub.x --W.sub.y, where x ranges from about 0.5 to 1.0 and y ranges from about 0.25 to 2.0. The alloy exhibits high strength, good ductility and high density and is especially suited for use in ballistic penetration cores.
