	Chobham armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chobham armour is a composite armour developed in the sixties at the British tank research centre on Chobham Common.
		Although the exact composition of Chobham armour remains a secret, it appears to be a composite armour of ceramic tiles within a matrix that is layered between steel armour plating, a combination that is excellent at defeating high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds.
		Possible ceramics for such armours are: boron carbide, silicon carbide, aluminium oxide (sapphire or "alumina"), titanium boride or Syndie, a synthetic diamond composite.

	Composite armour - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Composite armour is a type of vehicle armour consisting of layers of different material such as metals, plastics, ceramics or air.
		The most common type of composite armour today is Chobham armour, first developed and used by the British in the experimental FV 4211 tank, which was based on Chieftain tank components.
		Chobham sandwiches a layer of ceramic between two plates of steel armour, which was shown to dramatically increase the resistance to high explosive anti-tank (HEAT) rounds.

		This investigation aim is the fabrication of silicon carbide ceramic tiles by sintering without pressure has ballistic and economic advantages.
		The inverstigation is in two parts, the fabrication of ballistic tiles using pressureless sintering, and the evaluation of the ballistic performance of these tiles in comparison to tiles presently available.
		The depth of penetration is compared to that observed for a cylinder not protected by a ceramic tile and to the protection offfered by industrially produced tiles.

		The study found that of 39 fatal torso wounds in which the bullet or shrapnel entered the marine's body outside of the ceramic armour plate that protects the chest and back, 31 were close to the plate's edge.
		Some soldiers felt slighted that ceramic plates to protect their sides and shoulders were available, but not offered when they deployed for Iraq last September.
		Others in the regiment said the issue of protecting soldiers with more body armour is of greater concern at home than among soldiers in Iraq, who have seen first hand how life and death hang on a sliver of luck when an improvised explosive device hits a Humvee.
