Abstract: As the international situation continues to change and conflicts in various countries intensify, improving national defense forces is a necessary condition to ensure the stable development of the country, and bulletproof armor is a key part of it. Pressureless sintered silicon carbide ceramics have been widely used in the field of bulletproof armor because of its simple preparation process and excellent mechanical properties of low density, high hardness and high strength. The hardness and fracture toughness of pressureless sintered silicon carbide bulletproof ceramics directly determine the quality of bulletproof performance. Promoting sintering densification and multi-phase composite sintering are the key ways to improve the hardness and fracture toughness of pressureless sintered silicon carbide ceramics. This study summarizes the research progress of pressureless sintered silicon carbide bulletproof ceramic materials in recent years, focusing on the sintering aids, toughening methods, composite form of pressureless sintered silicon carbide bulletproof ceramic materials.

Key words: silicon carbide, bulletproof ceramics, pressureless sintering, ballistic performance, composite structure
