Nowadays, the popularity of bulletproof equipment in the military is already very high, and we often learn about it in movies, networks, news and reports. I believe most of us have some understanding of bulletproof vests, plates, helmets, and shields. Today, we will learn about ceramic bulletproof plates, which are generally made of materials such as ceramics and polyethylene PE.
Our Temperature of Bulletproof Plate is Strictly Controlled by the Temperature Controllers In The Forming Process
Nowadays, the popularity of bulletproof equipment in the military is already very high, and we often learn about it in movies, networks, news and reports. I believe most of us have some understanding of bulletproof vests, plates, helmets, and shields. Today, we will learn about ceramic bulletproof plates, which are generally made of materials such as ceramics and polyethylene PE.
The bulletproof principle of ceramic bulletproof plates is that when a bullet hits a bulletproof plate, it first hits the topmost ceramic layer. Ceramic materials shatter when they encounter bullets with tremendous kinetic energy, and they also transmit the tremendous impact energy from the impact point to the surrounding area to absorb the bullet's energy. The bullet has already lost most of its kinetic energy after passing through the ceramic layer. When the bullet reaches the polyethylene layer, the polyethylene consumes the bullet's kinetic energy through stretching and wraps around the bullet head and fragments. This process has almost no impact on the human body and provides good protection.
The formation of bulletproof inserts is actually similar to many composite material forming processes, especially carbon fiber molding. Generally speaking, the equipments required for the forming process of bulletproof inserts mainly includes hydraulic presses, molds, temperature controllers, chillers, etc. In the early stage, materials need to be placed into the mold, usually a multi-layer mold. The temperature is raised to 130 degrees by a temperature controller for insulation and pressure preservation. After a long period of insulation and pressure preservation, a chiller is used for cooling the plates. The forming process of bulletproof plates is much stricter compared to carbon fiber forming, mainly because its forming period is relatively short. The temperature controllers and chillers need to control the temperature of the product, which is extremely special. Generally, manufacturers who haven't done similar projects are not familiar with the tricks involved.
Longkui Armor uses cold-hot switching temperature controllers developed with professional technology, which can not only effectively reduce the forming cycle of bulletproof plates, but also effectively control the temperature of the product during the production process, instead of traditionally controlling temperature of hot platen or mold. Our company's ceramic bulletproof plates have precise temperature control during the production process, so the formed plates have very stable bulletproof performance and reliable quality.
