Abstract Different metal matrix ceramic composite plates were manufactured using different diameter balls. The ballistic resistance of these investigated by firing 12.7mm, 25mm armor-piercing incendiary (API), and 200 standard explosively formed projectile(EFP). tests results showed that balls with higher mechanical properties performed better resistance, in the meantime, there was a correlatio...

Metal matrix composites (MMCs) belong to a group of modern materials owing their excellent technological, mechanical, and physical properties such as wear corrosion resistance, high electrical thermal conductivity, improved strength hardness. Final MMCs are affected equally by all steps its manufacturing process. It is shown that using adequate process parameters obtain starting (reaching the s...
