TA&T maintains a significant capability to produce transparent Spinel ceramic armor and electro-optical windows (flat and curved), domes, lenses, and hemispheres.
澳洲5官方
- Spinel is a transparent ceramic material transmitting from the Ultraviolet (UV) and extending deep into the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR)
- Optically isotropic, eliminating birefringence effects
- High hardness, high strength, erosion and chemical resistant
- Available as flat or curved windows for armor and optical applications
- Available as domes, hemispheres, lenses, and other conformal shapes for optical applications
Applications Availability
Spinel is suitable for immediate insertion into a number of market segments:
- Standard transparent ground armor
- Specialty transparent ground armor for clandestine applications
- Air/Rotorcraft transparent armor
- Optical sensor windows and domes suitable for IR and tri-mode operation
- Civilian uses: cell phone screens, watch crystals, barcode scanners
Transparent Armor
- Developed material and processing capability to produce Spinel transparent armor plates up to 16”x18”, 15”x20”, and 18” diameter rounds
- When compared to current state-of-the-art ballistic glass armor, our spinel armor is 50% lighter, 50% thinner, and has greatly increased erosion resistance.
- Lightest Weight Armor qualified to demanding Army All Weather Multi-Hit ATPD 2352R specification for Ground Combat Vehicles. Suitable for Light Ground Vehicles, Wheeled Track vehicles, Heavy Transport Trucks, Gunner Protection Kits, Navy Surface Vessels, Secret Service Vehicles
Spinel Electro-Optical Windows and Lenses
- Excellent transmission in the UV through mid-wave IR wavelengths
- Superior refractive index stability with respect to temperature from aerodynamic heating
- High hardness provides increased resistance to environmental abrasion and impact
- Optical train lenses for broad band sensing spectrum
Spinel Production – Hot Pressing
A combination of hot presses enables the production of 2,000 in² of Spinel per week in a variety of sizes. Custom sizes are available through specially designed dies or post-processing, where appropriate.
Spinel Production – Pressureless Sintering
Research and development of pressureless sintering at TA&T enables complex transparent shapes to be made. Standard components include domes (Hellfire and JAGM sizes), lenses, and custom-shaped components.
