Metal armor

Fiber UD can also be incorporated into custom-shaped armor panels for vehicles, offering improved design flexibihty and protection. Fiber UD is a light-weight, cost-effective alternative to metal armor to protect occupants from direct fire, landmine and improvised explosive device (lED) threats. The lower weight of solutions based on fiber UD improves the vehiele s performance and payload, and facilitates easier installation of the armor. 

All-dielectric (duct) cables are used in applications where the additional protection afforded by metallic armoring is not needed or not wanted. Duct cable refers to all-dielectric cable designed primarily for use in a conduit, although such cable may be used in other apphcations as well Some such uses are in aerial lashed installations, or in limited direct buried apphcations where the below-grade environment is more benign and rodent attacks are not a concern. AU-dielectric cables may also be... 

Ammonium picrate (AP) is used only where a high explosive is required that is particularly iasensitive to shock. It has been employed ia pressed form primarily as a burster ia aaval projectiles for armor peaetratioa. The compouad is very stable and does not form sensitive metallic salts. Its explosive... 

Graphite and ceramic vessels are used fully armored that is, they are enclosed within metal pressure vessels. These materials are also used for boxlike vessels with backiug plates on the sides. The plates are drawn together by tie bolts, thus putting the material in compression so that it can withstand low pressure. 

Special quality steels - A vast range of special quality steels is made in electric arc furnaces by adding other metals to form steel alloys. The most commonly known of these is stainless steel, which has chromium and nickel added to form a corrosion-resistant steel. There are very many others however the very hard steels used to make machine tools, the steels specially formulated to make them suitable for engineering, steels developed to survive for decades the hostile environment of nuclear reactors, light but strong steels used in aerospace, extra tough steels for armor plating - to name but a few.

Zirconium. While almost any metal in the finely divided state exhibits pyrophoric properties, a few metals when abraded emit a shower of sparks of sufficient temp to ignite hydrocarbon vapors. Cerium is the best known metal of this kind for commercial purposes, such as gas lighter flints. For military purposes Zr is the most used. It has found applications in HE and armor-piercing incendiary ammo, the lining of shaped-charge rounds, and in incendiary cluster bombs (Ref 7, pp 100-01)... 

Since the pioneer work of Li and Armor (1,2,3), y ho found that methane could be used as a selective reductant of nitrogen oxide over Co-ZSM5, several sohds have been used with the same purpose (4,5,6,7). Metals such as Co, Rh and Pt, exchanged in ZSMS (8), were similarly studied. In the absence of the three metals have a high selectivity but when 25% of oxygen is added to the feed,... 

Li and Armor reported that Co-exchanged zeolites present a very high catalytic performance for the CH4-SCR, even in oxygen excess conditions [1, 3], Bimetallic Pt-and Pd-Co zeolites have revealed an increase of activity, selectivity towards N2 and stability, when compared with monometallic Co catalysts [4-8] even in the presence of water in the feed. Recent works show that these catalytic improvements are due to the presence of specific metal species as isolated metal ions, clusters and oxides and their location inside the cavities or in the external surface of zeolite crystallites [9, 10],... 

Ever since the first study of metal-exchanged zeolites as new catalysts for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with methane in the presence of oxygen was undertaken (Li and Armor, 1993), the simultaneous catalytic removal of NOx and CH4 at the exhaust of lean-bum natural gas engines has remained a challenge. 

Listen to this. Dr. Ketchum, he said. Over the phone, I heard the soundtrack from Armor for the Inner Man, the six-minute film that I had put together for Doug Lindsey in 1962 ... This armor for the inner man must be fabricated from organic molecules, not metals... etc. How in the world did he get that film ... 

Given titaniums lightness, strength, and resistance to corrosion and high temperatures, its most common use is in ahoys with other metals for constructing aircraft, jet engines, and missiles. Its alloys also make exceUent armor plates for tanks and warships. It is the major metal used for constructing the stealth aircraft that are difficult to detect by radar. 

Some acids will attack nickel, but it offers excellent protection from corrosion from air and seawater. This quality makes it excellent for electroplating other metals to form a protective coating. Nickel is also an excellent alloy metal, particularly with iron, for making stainless steel as well as a protective armor for military vehicles. It is malleable and can be drawn through dies to form wires. About one pound of nickel metal can be drawn to about 200 miles of thin...
