Impulse Resistance Sintering of Compounds for Armor Applications.

Abstract

Isserow,Saul ;AMMRC-TR-73-43DA-1-T-062105-A-328*Sintering, *Armor, *Hot pressing, Titanium boride, Boron compounds, SilicidesImpulse resistance sinteringThe extension of the applicability of impulse resistance sintering was demonstrated in a newly assembled unit with a 10,000-ampere capability. Compositions in the Ti-B system have received primary attention for possible armor application. Round disks with up to five-inch diameter and four-inch squares were made with a titanium-TiB2 blend corresponding to Ti(0.7)B. Tooling for such compacts is described. Smaller compacts have been prepared with different degrees of success from other materials, including light, hard compounds and several metals. (Author)
