摘要

This study demonstrates the functional advantages of a reaction-sintered diamond – silicon carbide (D–SiC) composite for armor applications over standard silicon carbide, boron carbide, and corundum-based materials. Experimentally, the armor properties of the reaction-sintered D–SiC composite were found to meet the Br4 protection class. The prototype armor panels consisted of ceramic plates (thicknesses of 6 – 10 mm) bonded to a flexible backing of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (thickness of 8 – 10 mm). Ballistic testing confirmed that the panels exhibited no penetrations.
