Tungsten carbide (WC) ceramics are extremely hard and exhibit great
potential for use in military application.Tungsten carbide (WC) is a more effective material than
Kevlar or steel when used for body armor. Tungsten carbide possesses a
high measure of hardness that indicates a high resistance to
deformation. Also, the methods of production, namely Pulsed Current
Activated Sintering (PCAS), can increase these natural properties. To
conclusively prove that WC can be used as body armor components, the
material must be tested by firing armor piercing munitions at samples of
the material.
