Abstract of the Disclosure A molded porous silicon carbide body in the shape of an armor plate is made by coking a mixture of carbon and silicon powder coated with an organic binder to which some silicon carbide powder may be added, and then rapidly raising the temperature to a level at which silicon carbide is formed. The body is then impregnated so that its pores are filled with steel or a steel alloy to produce a plate that has the hardness and stiffness of silicon carbide and the toughness of metal. The plate has superior resistance to hollow or shaped ex- plosive charges. The lower density provided by the silicon carbide favors its use in armored vehicles.
