Boron Carbide Bulletproof Plate, B4C
Boron Carbide Bulletproof Plate, also known as B4C plate, is a type of ceramic plate used in personal body armor and vehicle armor. It is made of boron carbide, which is a ceramic material with high hardness, high compressive strength, and low density. B4C plate is lightweight and durable, making it an ideal material for protective armor. It is commonly used in conjunction with other materials such as Kevlar to create ballistic armor for military and law enforcement applications. B4C plates are designed to withstand high-velocity impacts and provide protection against a range of threats, including bullets and shrapnel.

Boron Carbide Ceramic Applications
Boron carbide ceramics are applied widely in industries as wearing resistant materials, and abrasives. As an abrasive, it is used in powdered form in the lapping (fine abrading) of metal and ceramic products, though its low oxidation temperature of 400–500° C (750–930° F) makes it unable to withstand the heat of grinding hardened tool steels.
Its ability to absorb neutrons without forming long-lived radionuclides makes it attractive as an absorbent for neutron radiation arising in nuclear power plants and from anti-personnel neutron bombs. Nuclear applications of boron carbide include shielding, control rod and shut down pellets. Within control rods, boron carbide is often powdered, to increase its surface area.
