Results for tag: "Ceramic Armor"

Ceramic armor is a type of armor made from ceramic materials, such as alumina, boron carbide, and silicon carbide. It is used to protect personnel and vehicles from ballistic threats, such as bullets, shrapnel, and other projectiles. Ceramic armor is lighter and more durable than traditional steel armor, and is often used in military and law enforcement applications. It is also used in the aerospace and automotive industries. Ceramic armor is typically composed of a ceramic plate, which is backed by a composite material such as Kevlar or Spectra Shield. The ceramic plate absorbs the impact of the projectile, while the composite material helps to disperse the energy of the projectile. This combination of materials provides superior protection against ballistic threats. Ceramic armor is becoming increasingly popular due to its light weight and superior protection. It is also more cost-effective than traditional steel armor. Some companies in the ceramic armor market include Ceradyne, ArmorWorks, and Armor Express. Show Less Read more
