Abstract
- Boron Carbide (B<subscript>4</subscript>C) is widely used to provide ballistic protection in challenging service environments. This work was carried out to develop non-destructive testing (NDT) for B<subscript>4</subscript>C characterization. Deliberate flaws were introduced within the B<subscript>4</subscript>C tiles during manufacturing. An experimental program was undertaken to determine the best method to detect defects in ceramic tiles and material characterization. Ultrasonic characterization of the material was found to be able to detect both density variation and defects within the material. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
