Alumina Ceramic Armor
We
are happy to announce our product, Alumina Ceramic Armor. Ceramic armor has
been an integral part in both military and civilian armor systems for years.
When
designed into a complete armor system, Ceramic armor utilizes planned material
fracture to rob the projectile of energy. This system is, in many cases, more
cost-efficient than an all-metal or all-fabric system.
Ultrasonic
testing by independent laboratories has confirmed that our Alumina Ceramic
Armor is 99.5% more consistent and contains significantly fewer internal
defects than competing materials.
We
can fabricate virtually any shape energy absorber, which optimizes coverage
while minimizing weight. We have expert engineers are ready to assist you when
integrating Alumina Ceramic Armor systems into your design. Check here for more information.
Alumina
ceramic armor, working in conjunction with an appropriate backing system, can
defeat various threats including armor-piercing rounds and IEDs. Typical ceramic
composite armor systems, at approximately half the weight, outperform similar
steel-based systems. These systems are frequently used in body armor, vehicle
armor, and aircraft armor.
How it works:
Conventional
steel armor plate defeats an incoming projectile by reducing its kinetic energy
through ductile deformation. In a ceramic composite based armor system, a
different process is employed. First, the strike face surface causes
significant deformation to the projectile, increasing its cross section. Its
kinetic energy is reduced as the bullet is fragmentized on shattering the
tile's hard surface. The residual energy of the smaller fragments is absorbed
by plastic or elastic deformation within the backing of the armor tile. The
ballistic backing sheet is often made of Kevlar, Dyneema, Spectra Shield or
Steel Armor Plate.
Uses:

Armor Chest Plates
Aircraft,
Helicopter Armor Systems
