An energy-efficient method of manufacturing strong composite materials based on SiC, modified with oxide eutectic additives, was developed. The effect of adding ultradisperse powder to commercial silicon carbide on the physical-chemical properties of ceramic was investigated. The ratio of silicon carbide and the sintering additive was determined. A dense, low-porosity, strong material was obtained. The ceramic obtained is a new construction material which holds promise for use as protective armor.
