In this study, the ballistic performance of hybrid composite armor systems reinforced with B₄C/SiC reinforcement materials was investigated. A functionally graded hybrid composite structure was developed by incorporating boron carbide (B₄C) and silicon carbide (SiC) ceramic particles into Kevlar/Carbon Fiber Fabric. In the study, mechanical and microstructure characterization tests were performed on B₄C-reinforced, SiC-reinforced, and unreinforced samples. The tensile properties of the produced B₄C and SiC-reinforced composite samples increased with increasing reinforcement ratio, with the highest increase observed in the SiC-reinforced samples. Microstructure examinations revealed increased agglomeration for both reinforcement materials with increasing reinforcement content. Fracture surface examinations showed that Kevlar fabric matrix materials exhibited ductile fracture behavior, while carbon fiber fabrics exhibited brittle behavior (Briscoe, B. J., & Motamedi, F., 1992).
