Definitions
- the invention relates to an armor plate (so-called add-on armor), an armor plate assembly and armor with which objects, in particular vehicles and mobile units, can be protected against the effects of projectiles, grenades or the like.
- a challenge in the development of armor is that a compromise has to be found between the protective effect that can be achieved, weight and costs.
- the general rule here is that materials with a higher weight enable a higher protective effect, but also cause significantly higher costs.
- the protective effect of armor can be compared using standardized guidelines.
- STANAG Standardization Agreement
- 4569 regulates the protection levels for occupants of logistics and light armored vehicles.
- the object of the invention is to provide armor which has the lowest possible weight and the lowest possible manufacturing costs and at the same time is easy to change if necessary.
- an armor plate with a thickness that is at least 3 mm and an edge length of at least 20 mm, wherein the armor plate consists of a material which is largely formed from a component selected from the group consisting of hard metal, cermet and / or combinations thereof.
- Cermets and hard metals are characterized by a high level of hardness and a sufficiently high dead weight. As a result, these materials are particularly suitable for armor, which have a very good protective effect and can also be manufactured at acceptable costs.
- One aspect of the invention is based on the knowledge that cermets are also suitable for the production of armor despite their noticeably lower density compared to hard metals. In this way, if necessary, by at least partial or complete replacement of the hard metal known from the prior art in armoring, the total weight of the armor can be considerably reduced.
- the hard metal can have a hard material and a binder, the binder being composed of the elements selected from the group cobalt, nickel, copper, iron and / or mixtures thereof, in particular selected from the group nickel, iron and / or mixtures thereof.
- the binder of the hard metal apart from unavoidable impurities, can accordingly consist only of cobalt or of a mixture of cobalt, nickel, copper and / or iron or also just of nickel and / or iron.
- hard material in particular tungsten carbide can be used.
- the grain size of the hard material after sintering can range from very fine, for example in the range from 0.5 to 0.8 ⁇ m (corresponding to the “very fine” classification according to DIN ISO 4499-2), to coarse, for example in the range from 2.5 to 6.0 gm (according to the classification "coarse” according to DIN ISO 4499-2).
- the hard metal can contain other carbides known in the art, for example VC, Cr 3 C2, TiC, TaC, NbC, ZrC, HfC and / or mixtures thereof, in particular TiC, TaC, NbC, ZrC and / or mixtures thereof.
- carbides known in the art, for example VC, Cr 3 C2, TiC, TaC, NbC, ZrC, HfC and / or mixtures thereof, in particular TiC, TaC, NbC, ZrC and / or mixtures thereof.
- the hard metal can comprise several carbides selected from the group consisting of tungsten carbide, VC, Cr 3 C2, TiC, TaC, NbC, ZrC, HfC and / or mixtures thereof, in particular from the group consisting of tungsten carbide, TiC, TaC, NbC, ZrC and / or mixtures thereof
- a further aspect of the invention is therefore based on the fact that a sufficiently stable armor plate can still be obtained when the known tungsten carbide as hard material is partially replaced by other carbides in the hard metal.
- the hard metal can also contain nitrides known from the prior art as additives. Such nitrides can be used to form edge zones. Such an edge zone can have a thickness of 20 to 50 ⁇ m.
- the binder can be composed of the elements selected from the group cobalt, nickel, copper, iron and / or mixtures thereof, in particular selected from the group nickel, iron and / or mixtures thereof.
- the binder of the cermet apart from unavoidable impurities, can accordingly consist only of cobalt or of a mixture of cobalt, nickel, copper and / or iron or also just of nickel and / or iron.
- the armor plate preferably has a thickness greater than 3 mm, preferably greater than 5 mm and in particular greater than 10 mm.
- the dimensions of a single armor plate are preferably comparatively small. Edge lengths in the range of 20 to 150 mm, in particular in the range of 20 to 50 mm, have proven to be the optimal compromise between, on the one hand, good manufacturability and, on the other hand, not excessive effort when attaching the individual panels.
- the armor plates can have any geometry that is suitable for completely covering an underlying surface with several armor plates arranged next to one another, apart from the joints between the adjacent armor plates.
- the plates can have a hexagonal, triangular, square or rectangular shape.
- the armor plates have a square shape with an edge length in the order of 50 mm.
- an armor plate composite is also provided to achieve the above-mentioned object, comprising at least two layers of armor plates of the above-mentioned type, which are connected to one another.
- the layers of armor plates can have armor plates made of different or the same material. In this way, tailor-made armored plate composites can be realized in sandwich construction.
- the armor plates of the layers can have the same or different thicknesses, edge lengths and / or cross-sections.
- the individual armor plates of the various layers are applied congruently to one another. This allows the armor plate assembly as a whole to be exchanged in a simple manner.
- the armor plates of the layers are offset from one another. This ensures that no continuous joints between the armor plates are exposed in armor that is composed of the armor plates. Thus becomes prevents less stable areas from developing in armor that has such a composite armor plate.
- the individual layers of the armor plate composite can be connected to one another in particular by gluing, sintering, screwing and / or soldering.
- An adhesive based on silicone can serve as the adhesive.
- a hard solder should be used as solder in order to be able to guarantee a sufficiently stable connection.
- an armor with a carrier, an armor layer and an adhesive layer, by means of which the armor layer is connected to the carrier, wherein the armor layer has several armor plates, in particular wherein the armor layer is made of armor plates and / or armor plate composites of the aforementioned type is formed.
- the armor layer can contain armor plates and / or armor plate composites made of different materials.
- the armor plates arranged next to one another and applied to the carrier can be formed from the same and / or from different materials.
- the several armor plate composites of the armor applied to the carrier can each consist of the same sequence of layers of armor plates or have a different sequence of layers of armor plates made of different materials.
- the gap widths of the joints between the armor plates and / or the armor plate composite can be in a range from 0.01 to 0.8 mm. With larger gap widths, the armoring does not provide sufficient protection. An irregular gap width can also mean that the area arranged under the armor plates and / or the armor plate assemblies cannot be completely covered. Smaller gap widths, however, can only be achieved with great effort. If necessary, the circumferential surfaces of the armor plates and / or armor plate composites can be ground before they are attached to the carrier in order to compensate for the manufacturing tolerances of the edge lengths.
- the adhesive layer serves as mechanical damping between the armor plates or the armor plate connections and the carrier, which increases the protective effect. At the same time, it is possible to replace the individual armor plates and armor plate assemblies separately, for example if one or one of them is damaged after being shot at.
- the adhesive layer is in particular a permanently elastic adhesive layer.
- the adhesive layer preferably has a thickness of at least 3 mm and in particular a thickness in the range from 3 to 3.5 mm.
- a thicker layer of adhesive increases the armor's ability to absorb energy in the event of a fire. At the same time, however, as little adhesive as possible should be used in order to save costs and, if necessary, to enable simple replacement of individual armor plates or armor plate assemblies.
- the adhesive layer can be applied to the carrier as a continuous, flat layer.
- the adhesive layer has a wave-shaped profile, air being enclosed between adjacent wave crests. This increases the resilience of the adhesive layer.
- the air can be on the side of the armor plates and / or the armor plate composites.
- the adhesive layer is applied to the carrier, the armor plates and / or the armor plate composites then being applied to the adhesive layer.
- the adhesive of the adhesive layer should ensure adequate adhesion of the armor components connected by the adhesive layer in a temperature range of -50 ° C to + 80 ° C.
- the adhesive layer is preferably a silicone-based adhesive. This is characterized by good resilience with a high adhesive effect and, at the same time, good aging resistance when covering a high temperature range.
- the adhesive of the adhesive layer and the adhesive connecting the individual layers of the armor plate composite can be the same or different adhesives.
- the advantages and considerations relating to the adhesive of the adhesive layer apply in an analogous manner to the adhesive connecting the individual layers of the armor plate assembly.
- the thickness of the adhesive layer between the carrier and the armor layer between the individual layers of the armor plate composite can be different or the same thickness.
- the adhesive layer can also be implemented by means of a hard solder instead of an adhesive.
- the armor layer can also be fastened mechanically to the carrier.
- the carrier is preferably made of a material with which the carrier in turn already provides a certain protective effect.
- the carrier can be composed of a material selected from the group of high-strength steel, aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium, titanium alloys, synthetic fiber composites and / or combinations thereof.
- Armored steel in particular can be used as high-strength steel.
- a suitable synthetic fiber composite is in particular Kevlar.
- a splinter protection is applied to the side of the armor layer opposite the adhesive layer. This prevents excessive flaking of the material of the armor layer in the event of fire.
- the splinter protection can be glued directly onto the armor layer.
- the splinter protection can be made of steel, high-strength steel, titanium, titanium alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, and / or composite materials. In particular, materials based on carbon and / or plastic can be used as the composite material. Furthermore, an additional protection can be applied to the side of the carrier opposite the adhesive layer. This serves to catch smaller fragments of the carrier and / or the projectile that can arise when the armor is fired.
- Foils and / or mats made of composite materials, in particular based on carbon and / or plastic, can be used as additional protection.
- the additional protection can also be attached to the carrier by gluing or a mechanical connection.
- the carrier is the outside of an object provided with the armor, in particular a vehicle or a mobile unit.
- a mobile unit is in particular a temporary infrastructure, for example a container.
- spacers can be attached between the carrier and the outside of the object provided with the armor, in particular a vehicle or a mobile unit, which connect the carrier to the outside of the object.
- the distance between the carrier and the outside of the object also provides additional space to intercept smaller fragments of the carrier and / or the projectile, so that they cannot damage the outer layer of the object.

- FIG. 6 shows a cross section through a further alternative embodiment of armor
- FIG. 7 shows a cross section through an alternative embodiment with spacers.
- an armor plate 10 is shown schematically, which is rectangular in the embodiment shown and has a constant thickness d.
- the thickness d is several millimeters and depends on the desired protective effect.
- the armor plate preferably has a thickness greater than 3 mm.
- the thickness of the armor plate 10 is chosen so that the plate as such is inherently stable and is only destroyed when bombarded.
- the dimensions of the armor plate 10 are comparatively small.
- the edge lengths a, b are in the order of magnitude from 20 mm to 150 mm and preferably in the range from 20 to 50 mm.
- the armor plate 10 is a solid part made of a material that is largely formed from a component selected from the group Hard metal, cermet and / or combinations thereof.
- the usual sintering processes which are generally known for these materials can be used for production.
- FIG. 2 shows the structure of armor 11, which contains several of the armor plates 10 shown in FIG.
- the armor 11 shown in Figure 2 uses a carrier 12 to which the armor plates 10 are glued to one another.
- the armor plates 10 correspondingly form an armor layer 13 of the armor 11.
- the carrier 12 consists of a steel alloy, in particular a high-strength steel alloy such as is used in the armoring of vehicles, for example armor steel.
- the carrier 12 in addition to high-strength steel, a large number of other materials are suitable for the carrier 12, for example aluminum, aluminum alloys, titanium, titanium alloys, synthetic fiber composite materials and / or combinations thereof.
- the armor plates 10 are glued to the carrier 12 by means of a first adhesive layer 14.
- the adhesive forming the first adhesive layer 14 is a silicone-based adhesive. In principle, it is conceivable to use an adhesive layer with a constant thickness, so that a continuous, flat adhesive layer 14 is applied to the carrier 12.
- an alternative form of the adhesive layer 14 is shown in which, viewed in cross section, it has a generally undulating profile. This means that the
- Armor plates 10 are only in contact with the (flattened) wave crests of the first adhesive layer 14.
- “Channels” 16 which are each filled with air, are formed between the individual wave crests.
- the particular advantage of the armor 11 shown in FIG. 2 is that the individual armor plates 10 can be exchanged separately in a simple manner if this is necessary.
- the first adhesive layer 14 ensures mechanical damping between the armor plates 10 and the carrier 12 underneath, which increases the protective effect.
- the rectangular shape of the armor plates 10 in principle any shape can be used which is suitable for completely covering an underlying surface with several armor plates arranged next to one another (apart from the joints between adjacent armor plates 10).
- Various geometries of the armor plates 10 are shown in FIGS. 3a to 3c.
- the armor plates 10 can be square or rectangular (Figure 1 and Figure 3a), triangular (Figure 3b) and hexagonal (Figure 3c).
- the joints between adjacent armor plates 10 should have a width in a range from 0.01 to a maximum of 0.08 mm in order to ensure a sufficiently good protective effect of the armor 11. If necessary, the individual armor plates 10 can be ground to the desired size after the manufacturing process in order to eliminate manufacturing-related tolerances and to ensure sufficiently small joints.
- FIG. 4 shows a further embodiment of the armor 11a, which has an armor plate composite 18.
- the armor plate composite 18 is glued to the carrier 12 by means of the first adhesive layer 14.
- the first adhesive layer 14 is designed with a constant thickness.
- the armor plate composite 18 has several layers 20a and 20b, which are connected to one another by means of a second adhesive layer 22 (“sandwich construction”). In this case, the entire armor plate composite 18 forms the armor layer 13 of the armor 11a.
- Each of the layers 20a and 20b comprises a plurality of armor plates 10a and 10b, it being possible for the material of which the armor plates 10a and 10b are made to differ between the layers 20a and 20b.
- the armor plates 10a can consist of a cermet, while the armor plates 10b are formed from a hard metal.
- the armor plates can also differ within each layer 20a and 20b, so that, for example, different armor plates 10a and 10a ‘or 10b and 10b are used.
- the possible maximum total weight of the armor 11 that can be used is usually determined by the object that is to be provided with the armor 11.
- the individual armor plates 10a and 10b can have a smaller thickness compared to the embodiment shown in FIG. 2, so that the armor plate composite 18 overall has a thickness analogous to the thickness of the armor layer 13 from FIG.
- the first adhesive layer 14 and the second adhesive layer 22 can use the same or different adhesives.
- the second adhesive layer like the first adhesive layer 14, can also have “channels” 16 or, as shown in FIG. 4, have a constant thickness.
- the second adhesive layer 22 ensures mechanical damping between the armor plates 10a and 10b.
- the layers 20a and 20b can also be connected to one another by means of sintering, screwing or soldering, in particular hard soldering, instead of the second adhesive layer 22.
- the layers 20a and 20b of the armor plate composite 18 are arranged one above the other in such a way that the armor plates 10a and 10b of the layers 20a and 20b, viewed in a cross-section, are arranged one above the other so that the armor plates 10a and 10b are congruent one above the other, so that the joints between the armor plates 10a and 10b also lie one above the other. It has been shown that if the joint width is sufficiently small, no impairment of the protective effect of the armor 11a is to be expected in this case either. With such an arrangement, it is particularly easy to exchange individual armor plates 10a and 10b as well as entire armor plate assemblies 18, for example after damage to the armor 11a.
- the armor plates 10a and 10b can also be arranged offset to one another, so that the joints between the individual armor plates 10a and 10b do not lie exactly one above the other. Even if the protective effect of the armor 11 can theoretically be increased further in this way, in particular with regard to a case of repeated bombardment at the same point of the armor 11, the cost of a repair increases in such an embodiment.
- FIG. 5 shows a further embodiment of the armor 11b, in which a splinter protection 24 is applied, in particular glued, to the side of the armor layer 13 opposite the adhesive layer 14.
- the armor layer 13 can be constructed from individual armor plates 10 or from armor plate composites 18, analogously to the previously shown embodiments.
- the splinter protection 24 is for example made of steel, high-strength steel, titanium, titanium alloys, aluminum, aluminum alloys, composite materials, in particular based on carbon and / or plastic, and / or combinations thereof.
- the splinter protection 24 generally has a smaller thickness than the armor layer 13.
- the armor plates 10 of the armor layer 13 splinter due to the impact.
- the splinter protection 24 ensures that these splinters cannot flake off to a large extent from the surface of the armor 11 b. It has been shown that the stability of the armor layer 13 overall and thus the protective effect of the armor 11b can be further increased.
- the armor 11 b shown in FIG. 5 has an additional protection 26 on the side of the carrier 12 opposite the adhesive layer 14.
- the additional protection 26 is in particular glued and / or mechanically fastened to the carrier.
- Foils and / or mats made of composite materials, in particular based on carbon and / or plastic, can be used as additional protection.
- the additional protection 26 serves to catch smaller splinters from the carrier 12 and / or the projectile that may arise when the armor is fired.
- FIG. 6 a further embodiment of the armor 11 c is shown which, analogously to FIG. 5, has the splinter protection 24 and the additional protection 26.
- the carrier 12 is the outside 28 of an object provided with armor 11, so that part of the object itself is also part of armor 11c.
- the object is a vehicle or a mobile unit.
- a mobile unit is understood here to mean, in particular, temporary infrastructure, for example a container.
- an already existing protective effect of the object for example the armored outer layer of a vehicle, can be used and its protective effect can only be achieved through the other components of the armor 11c can be added. It is thus also possible to retrofit existing items with armor 11 in a simple manner.
- the additional protection 26 is particularly advantageous in an embodiment according to FIG. 6, for example when an occupant of an armored vehicle is located directly behind the carrier 12. Even if the projectile, which strikes the armor 11 c when it is fired, for example, cannot penetrate it, splinters could break off from the carrier 12 in the direction of the occupant and injure him. This is effectively prevented by the additional protection 26.
- the armor layer 13 and the carrier 12 absorb the majority of the force of the impact, the parts of the carrier 12 splintering in the direction of the occupant hardly have any penetration force, so that a thin film and / or mat is sufficient as additional protection 26.
- FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of the armor 11d, the armor 11d being fastened by means of spacers 30 to the outside 28 of an object, in particular to the outside of a vehicle or a mobile unit.
- Such an embodiment is particularly suitable in the event that the carrier 12, the armor layer 13 and / or the adhesive layer 14 cannot be applied directly to the outside 28 or the outside 28 itself is not made of a sufficiently stable material, so that an embodiment according to Figure 6 cannot be realized.
- the spacers 30 also ensure that, for example, splinters or flaking of the carrier 12 do not strike the outside 28 directly when the armor 11 d is fired. Accordingly, no additional protection 26 is provided in the embodiment according to FIG.
- the spacers 30 make it easy to replace the armor 11d in the event of damage, since it only has to be detached from the spacers 30 and a new armor 11d must be installed at the damaged point.
