Abstract

A liner for a shaped charge including an inner layer made of a material having a density below 10.5 g/cm³, and an outer layer made of a material having a density below 2.0 g/cm³, wherein the outer layer is formed directly on the inner layer. In a first state, both the inner layer and the outer layer are compressed towards the symmetry axis (x) of the liner, thereby forming a projectile. In a second state, the inner layer forms a penetration jet of the projectile and the outer layer forms a slug of the projectile. The melting point of the outer layer is above 100° C. The invention also concerns a shaped charge including the liner, a method for manufacturing the liner and a method for detonation of the shaped charge.
