| Description: |
Ballistic materials are class of materials that are design for protection against projectiles. Several materials have been used ranging from ceramics to metals and polymers with some limitations that been response for the need for improvements. Hence, understanding the characteristics of modern-day materials for this application is essential for optimizing performance. The review categorizes materials into metals, polymers, ceramics, and composites, each possessing unique properties that influence their suitability for various ballistic scenarios. In addition to material classification, the review delves into manufacturing methods, spanning conventional techniques like casting, forging, and machining, to more advanced processes such as additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy. The review emphasizes the need for continuous research and innovation to address emerging threats and challenges faced in ballistic applications. Hence, the review examined historical contexts, recent advancements, and future prospects, emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary approach for continuous improvement and innovation.
