ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the manufacture of composite metal armour plating comprising ceramic inserts (42) regularly disposed through the thickness and giving reliable, reproducible ballistic efficiency.
The ceramic inserts are positioned at regular intervals by disposing them in enveloping shells comprising male and female portions fitting into one another in order to bring about relative predetermined positioning and leave gaps into which the actual casting metal can flow during casting.
