Bullet Proof Sintered Silicon Carbide (SSiC)

2022-11-26



Armour Grade  Pressureless Sintered Silicon Carbide Ceramic


● Application:
The bullet proof pressureless sintered silicon carbide ceramic (SSiC) is produced by using very fine SiC powder mixed with special additives. The bullet proof sintered silicon carbide ceramic has much higher bending strength, higher hardness, higher fracture toughness compared with reaction bonded silicon carbide ceramic .Due to the extremely high hardness and bending strength, the bullet proof sintered silicon carbide ceramic (SSIC) can be used as vehicle protection armour (such as war craft, armed helicopter, tank, infantry fighting vehicle, armoured vehicle)and body protection amour (such as bullet proof vest, bullet proof helmet). Sintered silicon carbide ceramic is considered as one of the most promising high-performance armour protection materials with reasonable price and high performance.
