Bullet Proof High Alumina Ceramic (Al2O3)

2022-11-25



Armour Grade High Alumina Ceramic


● Application:

Thanks to the extremely high hardness and bending strength, the bullet proof high alumina ceramics 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 alumina ceramics are 3-4 times stronger than steel armour. The weight of high alumina ceramic is over 50% lower than the metal armour due to its lower density. Thanks to the the lower cost, the high alumina ceramic amour is considered to be an economic material compared with other ceramic armour material.

● Available Shape and sizes:

Length X Width :200 x 200 mm    Thickness: from 6mm up to 80mm   

Regular Shape: Polygonal tile, Hexagonal shape, 

● Key Advantages:

1. Excellent strength and high hardness which can withstand aggressive threat.

2. Lower density compared to metal armour, so the weight is much lower.

3. Lower price compare with silicon carbide and boron carbide ceramic, which can reduce the cost for the end user.

4. Shape and Size can be customized according to customer’s requirement.
