Case study for bidding
Time: August 2023
Supplier: CoorsTek
Buyer: BAE Systems
Product: Hot-Pressed Boron Carbide Armor Plates (99% purity, 2.50 g/cm3 density)
Quantity: 480 tons
Contract Value: USD 22 million
Delivery Timeline: July 2024
Detailed Application Scenario
In this case, BAE Systems selected CoorsTek's hot-pressed boron carbide armor plates for integration into next-generation armored vehicles and lightweight personal protective systems. The material's ultra-high hardness, combined with low density, provided superior resistance against armor-piercing projectiles while significantly reducing vehicle mass and improving mobility.
The plates were manufactured using precision hot-pressing techniques that achieved nearly full density, optimizing ballistic performance and multi-hit durability. Boron carbide's ability to absorb impact energy and resist fragmentation made it an ideal candidate for composite armor systems in conjunction with backing layers such as Kevlar or UHMWPE.
BAE Systems chose this material over silicon carbide and alumina ceramics due to its higher hardness-to-weight ratio, excellent neutron absorption properties, and proven field reliability. The project demonstrated the critical role of hot-pressed boron carbide in modern defense applications, where lightweight protection, structural resilience, and cost-efficiency are equally vital.

Global and U.S. White Aluminum Oxide Blast Media Market Report, Published by QY …
White Aluminum Oxide Blast Media is a high-purity abrasive material made from fused aluminum oxide (Al2O3) with an alumina content typically above 99%. It is produced by fusing calcined alumina in electric arc furnaces at temperatures exceeding 2000°C, followed by crushing, sizing, and precision grading. The result is a sharp, angular, and extremely hard abrasive suitable for surface cleaning, deburring, etching, and coating preparation. Unlike brown aluminum oxide, the white…

Torque Measurement Devices are precision instruments designed to measure the rotational force applied to shafts, fasteners, motors, and mechanical components. They play a critical role in assessing mechanical efficiency, load distribution, and assembly accuracy in both laboratory testing and industrial production environments. These devices utilize strain gauge, magnetoelastic, optical, or piezoelectric sensing technologies to convert torque into electrical signals for real-time monitoring. Common configurations include rotary torque transducers, reaction torque…
Global and U.S. T Bend Testers Market Report, Published by QY Research.
T Bend Testers are precision mechanical testing instruments used to evaluate the flexibility, adhesion, and coating performance of metallic sheets and coated substrates during bending deformation. The test determines the minimum radius or number of bends a coated metal can withstand without delaminating, typically following standards such as ASTM D4145, ISO 6860, or EN 13523-7. T bend testers are widely applied in coil coating, automotive, architectural, and appliance industries to…
