LIGHT-WEIGHT CERAMIC ARMOR CERAMIC POLYMER ARMOR SYSTEMS Splinter foil Ceramic Glue Backing Splinter Foil Ceramic Micronized Projectile The world has changed. Military and Security forces worldwide have been forced to adapt to new domestic and international terror threats and to the increased tempo of combat deployments in hostile territory. Vehicles designed for a traditional land conflict are often lightly or inadequately protected from asymmetric threats such as Improvised Explosive Devices (IED’s) and Explosively Formed Projectiles (EFP’s) which are encountered with alarming frequency by...

ALUMINA ARMOR MATERIALS CARBIDE ARMOR MATERIALS Residual Porosity Medium Grain Size Vickers Hardness Young‘s Modulus Fracture Toughness Residual Porosity Medium Grain Size Vickers Hardness Young‘s Modulus Alumina Materials Alumina with an Al2O3 content of 96 to 98 mass percentages is still the most important ceramic material in vehicular ballistic protection. It is characterized by good processability and economic volume production and possesses very high mechanical properties. CeramTec-ETEC supplies the following materials for regular production: ALOTEC 96 SB The basis is Bayer alumina with...

CERAMIC MATERIALS Analytical Model for Dwell Kinetic Energy vs. Time for Dwelling AP Projectiles Mass required to defeat a given threat 10 ∆Ekin by Dwell ∆Ekin by Erosion ∆Ekin by Dwell and Erosion Backing Stopped bullet in cracked ceramic Total cost to defeat a given threat 1 Partially damaged Time (µs) Cracked ceramic caused by fragment fire Penetration mechanism The mechanism of reducing the kinetic energy of an armor piercing penetrator can be explained through analysis of flash X-ray data. When the projectile impacts the surface of the ceramic, its kinetic energy is greatly reduced without...

CERAMIC PRODUCTION TECHNOLOGY BODY PROTECTION Raw Materials Incoming Raw Materials Inspection Material preparation Release of the Working Mass Molding Visual Inspection of Green Density Green Machining Sintering Packaging Shipment The ceramic production process is fundamentally different from other conventional technologies such as metals, glass and polymers. After the raw material synthesis and formulation the material is pressed into the desired shape and thickness. CeramTec-ETEC presses armour tiles with multiple uniaxial high tonnage presses. The pressed green bodies are then stacked for...
