Abstract
Composite Metal Foam is a low-weight, high-strength porous material capable of absorbing great amounts of energy under loading. In this report, Composite Metal Foam panels are manufactured using powder metallurgy technique and 2mm steel hollow spheres in a steel matrix and used in conjunction with a ceramic plate to fabricate a new light-weight composite armor system. This armor system is tested under ballistic loading using 7.62x51mm M80 and 7.62x63mm M2 AP projectiles at varying impact velocities for single and multi-impact scenarios. The material behavior, failure mechanism, and ballistic performance of the armor system are studied for optimization.
