Abstract

In this study, we tried to invent ceramic armor material with brilliant ballistic properties by the silica of the high compression-expansion ratio and based on alumina that has the most economical and higher ballistic efficiency. After we choose three compositions, proper sintering temperature for each composition was decided. After physical/mechanical measurement, we measured ballistic properties about KE(Kinetic Energy, L/D=10.7, tungsten heavy alloy) and HEAT(High Explosive Anti-Tank, K215) projectiles. As a result, $46\%\;Al_2O_3\;-\;51\%\;SiO_2$ of three compositions had the highest ballistic efficiency md better properties than alumina.

본 연구에서는 세라믹 방탄재료개발을 위해 가장 경제적이고 방탄물성이 높은 알루미나를 기본으로 하여 압축-팽창률이 높은 실리카를 첨가하여 방탄물성이 우수한 세라믹 방탄재료를 개발하고자 하였다. 3가지 조성을 선정하였으며 각각 조성에 적합한 소결온도를 설정하였다. 물리/기계적 물성을 측정한 후 K215 자탄을 기폭시켜 성형 작약(HEAT)탄에 대한 방탄물성을 측정하였으며, 30mm 고체추진포에서 10.7의 L/D비를 갖는 팅스텐 긴 관통자를 비행시켜 운동에너지(KE)탄에 대한 방탄물성을 측정하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 $46\%\;Al_2O_3\;-\;51\%\;SiO_2$가 가장 높은 방탄물성을 나타내었으며 알루미나에 비해 매우 우수한 방탄재료로 평가되었다.
