Abstract:This work proposed the introduction of a new approach to modify plate ceramics for armor. Two additives were used, kaolin and soda-lime glass, which were added to silicon carbide in variable weight ratios: 5, 10, and 15 wt.% for the kaolin, while the glass was added at 5, 15, and 30 wt.%. The samples were formed using axial pressing and then sintered at 1100 °C. It was found that increasing the percentage of clay and glass leads to a decrease in porosity, an increase in density, and a decrease in the water abs… Show more
