Armour Ceramics

When properly combined with other materials, ceramic and glass materials can exhibit ballistic penetration resistances significantly higher than conventional monolithic armor materials. Traditionally, ceramics have rarely been used in large armor panels for vehicle armor because of concerns with multi-hit performance. The commercially manufactured ceramics for armor include materials such as boron carbide, aluminium oxide, silicon carbide, titanium boride aluminiumnitride, and Syndite(synthetic diamond composite). Boron carbide composites are primarily used for ceramic plates to protect against smaller projectiles, and are used in body and helicopters. Silicon carbide is primarily used to protect against larger projectiles.
