Development Of pressureless sintered silicon carbide-boron carbide composites for armour applications

Ceramic armour must offer protection against armour piercing threats at low weight and affordable cost. As a possible means of improving armour, a range of SiC-B4C composites have been produced and characterised. The degree of contact between the two phases has been quantified and shown to have a st...
