A liner (5) for a shaped charge (10) comprising powdered heavy metal tungsten coated with a metal binder coating compressively formed into a liner body. Each of the powdered heavy metal particles are substantially uniformly coated with metal binder coating. The preferred powdered heavy metal particles are comprised of tungsten. Optionally, the liner for a shaped charge includes a lubricant intermixed with the coated heavy metal particles. The metal binder coating is selected from the group consisting of copper, lead, nickel, tantalum, other malleable metals, and alloys thereof, and comprises from 40 percent to 3 percent by weight of the liner. The powdered heavy metal particles comprise from 60 percent to 97 percent by weight of the liner. |
