I'm no physicist, but I think it's the combination of heat produced by pressure, and the pressure itself ( shock wave ) It's true as far as I know, that an anti tank round will burn a very small hole through the plate, and then bounce hot fragments around hoping to explode something inside. Remember that when a round travels down the bore, the barrel actually bulges, but that's very different than ringing your barrel.
