Abstract
Recently published data on the penetration of long tungsten rods into confined aluminum nitride targets are further analyzed. It is conclude d that the difference between the primary, steady-state penetration an d the total penetration is too large to be accounted for by theories o f 'after-flow' and is, instead, due to secondary penetration of the er oded penetrator material after the primary penetrator-target interacti on.
