This research has been studied and created the ceramic armor plates with composite materials that been proceeded from drying compression process with mold. Al2O3 that use for compression forming has been analyzed by SEM and XRD. It showed that compound and powder particle led to 5 microns-sized. It had flat circle shape of colundum Al2O3 and hexagonal crystal system. Upper punch of molding has designed and analyzed by FEA to 2 forms first form was the end-point had flat face and second form was the end-point had a convex. Upper punch had been made from AISI 52100 with 64 HRC ceramic armor plate had been produced by compression at 1000 kN which had hexagon side shape of width 25.98 mm for each side or height between parallel side of 45 mm. Al2O3 had been compressed to investigate the distribution of relative density for the height after compression of 15 and 30 mm by analyzing 4 cases that consist of 1.) a case of smooth face of upper punch which has green compact of 15 mm height 2.) a case of convex face of upper punch which has green compact of 15 mm height 3.) a case of smooth end face of upper punch which has green compact of 30 mm height 4.) a case of convex face of upper punch which has green compact of 30 mm height. The result of this study is to propose the distribution of relative density on horizontal axis as it is a relative radius and vertical axis is a relative distance from the upper punch that is an axis of moving down action. This study found that the distribution of relative density form had analogous form for these 4 cases the density had few differences and had high value at the town edge of green compact due friction between die wall and upper punch. The ceramic armor plate has been set up on UHMWPE fiber plate and used special silicone to connect them together then will get the NIJ 3 standard of ceramic armor plate with Composite materials

This research had two objectives that were to study parameters for forming bulletproof ceramic armor plates and to create a model of a bulletproof ceramic armor plate for small armored regular trucks. The parameters used to form a ceramic armor plate contain the thickness of the armor plate and the compressive strength which affects the density distribution of the green compact. A ballistic ceramic armor plate with a hexagonal shaped material was created as a concave bulletproof plate. Extrusion results displayed that the hexagonal material was formed at a very high density on the side surface of the armor plate but with uneven capacity distributed across the overall plate due to the friction occurring on the wall of the mold. The finite element method particularly at the Ansys/Explicit Dynamic tools were applied to analyse the damage of bulletproof plates. The model of a concave-shaped bulletproof plate was set for the SKD11material influencing the changes in the direction of the bullet firing when the bullet hit the bulletproof plate at a velocity of 880 m/s in accordance with the NIJ 4 standard. The bullet was made of tungsten carbide and the ceramic armor plate was built with a size of 300×300 mm and thicknesses of 14 16 18 and 20 mm. The bullet was fired into the center part and onto the curved surface of the ceramic plate. The result shows that the armor plate could not resistant to penetration. In this situation the direction of the bullets movement against the armor plate especially at a curved surface as a slope could result the deflection of the bullet direction as well as reduction of penetration capability.
