The scientific and technological level of bulletproof materials is an important embodiment of a country's military strength. In the field of body armor, bulletproof armor, armed with special vehicles and other protective fields, boron carbide bulletproof materials have been widely used. Compared with other bulletproof materials, such as metal sheet ballistic materials, high-performance fiber composite ballistic materials, and composite ballistic materials, boron carbide ceramics are an ideal alternative due to their high melting point, high hardness, and low density.
First of all, boron carbide ceramics are particularly suitable for arming *** and other aircraft. By improving the traditional design, it is possible to effectively withstand the attack of artillery shells from the ground. For example, boron carbide and Kevlar composite armor has been widely used in the crew seats of the American Black Hawk ***. In the 60s of the 20th century, boron carbide ceramics were used to arm cockpit floors, side wall bulletproof panels and pilot's seats. In 2016, the cockpit and shoulders of the Wuzhi 10 of the Chinese Army Aviation were equipped with bulletproof ceramic armor plates on both sides, which can resist 12The blow of the 7mm large-caliber aircraft *** enhances the pilot's self-protection ability.
Secondly, boron carbide ceramics are also widely used in police and civil special vehicles. Special vehicles need to be protected in all directions without obstructing the operator's view. Boron carbide ceramics are replacing traditional armor steel plates, equipped with important parts such as floors, doors, toolboxes, and seats in special vehicles, and becoming a new bulletproof material for police and civilian special vehicle modifications. Commercial high-end cars such as Hongqi, Ford, and Toyota, as well as special vehicles such as cash trucks, escort vehicles, VIP vehicles, and anti-terrorism anti-riot vehicles, have successfully tried to apply boron carbide ceramic armor.
In addition, boron carbide ceramics are also widely used in the manufacture of body armor. The U.S. Marine Corps and Army successfully developed the first boron carbide body armor for personal protection in the early 60s of the 20th century"Interceptor", and by 2012 there were already 680,000 sets"Interceptor"Body armor into the battlefield. The United States and Israel have also produced body armor with boron carbide ceramic chips embedded in Kevlar fabrics. After efforts to improve and upgrade in the field of medium and advanced industry, the boron carbide ceramic body armor produced by the company has become a high-performance, lightweight, and relatively comfortable body armor.
In short, boron carbide ceramics, as an ideal bulletproof material, play an important role in body armor, bulletproof armor, armed forces, police and civilian special vehicles. With the continuous progress of science and technology, the performance of boron carbide ceramics will be further improved, providing stronger support for the country's military strength.
