Bullet Proof Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Ceramic (SiSiC)

2022-11-28



Armour Grade Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Ceramic


● Application:

Thanks to the extremely strong covalent bond, the bullet proof reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic  (RBSIC/SISIC)has excellent strength, high hardness, high wear resistance, high corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity and excellent thermal shock resistance. Due to the extremely high hardness and bending strength, the bullet proof reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic can be used as vehicle protection armour (such as war craft, armed helicopter, tank, infantry fighting vehicle, armoured vehicle)and body protection armour (such as bullet proof vest,  bullet proof helmet). The bullet proof reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic is considered as one of the most promising high-performance armour protection materials with reasonable price and high performance.
