Silicon carbide ceramic plates provide effective protection from multiple threats — including bullets, armor-piercing rounds and high velocity fragments. Furthermore, they’re resistant to chemical degradation and suitable for long-term use.
IPS Ceramics provides both sintered and reaction bonded SSiC grades that are widely respected for their long-term durability and multi-hit capabilities.
Lightweight
Silicon Carbide (SiC) is one of the hardest and strongest advanced ceramic materials, rivaled only by diamond and cubic boron nitride in terms of hardness and strength. Furthermore, SiC offers excellent chemical resistance as well as thermal conductivity properties.
Silicon carbide plates are relatively lightweight compared to other armor materials, providing greater mobility and comfort for soldiers. Furthermore, these plates can effectively counter multiple threats, such as bullets, armor-piercing rounds, and high velocity fragments.
SiC plates are increasingly popular armour choices due to their exceptional multi-threat protection and cost efficiency. Their reliability surpasses alumina-based ceramics while they’re less costly than boron carbide-based materials.
Durable
SiC plates are lightweight compared to other armor materials, offering mobility and comfort improvements for personnel while providing superior protection from projectiles and fragments – as well as chemical threats.
Morgan Advanced Materials manufactures an assortment of sintered and reaction bonded silicon carbide products, including Hexoloy SSiC ceramic tile used for ballistic protection on land vehicles, ships and fixed and rotary-wing aircraft.
CVD silicon carbide offers low resistivity, making it the ideal material to create conductive components for RTP and oxide etch chambers with excellent thermal shock resistance. CVD SiC also serves as heaters and susceptors for sputter targets, all types of electrodes, plasma processing equipment, as well as thick sections made in thin sections to allow manufacturers greater manufacturing space flexibility. Furthermore, its chemical and oxidation resistance, thermal stability, high hardness makes it an excellent choice in meeting even the most challenging applications – improving heating uniformity while increasing throughput.
Multi-Threat Protection
Silicon Carbide Plates are vital elements of defense and security equipment, protecting lives while fortifying armored vehicles. Their exceptional resistance against ballistic projectiles, high velocity fragments and chemical agents makes them indispensable.
Ceramic tiles 14 can be constructed from any hard ceramic material, including silica, zirconia toughened alumina, precipitation strengthened alumina, magnesium oxide, silicon nitride (such as SiAlON (silicon oxy-nitride), silicon boron nitride aluminum nitride titanium diboride) or combinations thereof. Reaction-bonded sintered kiselcarbid (RB SiC) is another excellent material to consider for military applications due its superior hardness, erosion resistance and machineability; fully sintered forms require maximum strength for optimal strength.
Ceramic tiles 14 may incorporate fire retarding material such as perlite or vermiculite that expands upon application of heat, absorbing energy and partially neutralizing penetration forces, helping reduce damage while sealing ruptured composite armor to minimize component loss.
Customization
Silicon carbide ceramic plates can be tailored to suit specific threats while remaining lightweight and flexible, with repeated impacts without degradation or damage occurring to them. They disperse high-velocity bullet kinetic energy without restricting performance or mobility – providing law enforcement officers with peace of mind during potentially risky encounters.
