Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2002541427
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A composite element in an armored vehicle or armored garment includes a reaction-bonded ceramic matrix with ceramic fiber embedded therein. Preferably, the reaction-bonded ceramic matrix includes nitride-bonded silicon carbide, and the ceramic fiber includes silicon carbide. The matrix can additionally include nitride-bonded boron carbide. In a method of this invention, plies of non-woven, monofilament silicon carbide fiber are formed, and a slip including silicon carbide powder and silicon powder is cast around the plies to form a matrix around the plies. The silicon/silicon carbide matrix is then reaction-bonded to form a composite element of this invention.
