Can't you not read I guess you cannot or your translator is no good. I implore you not to show your know-all attitude and think you are smart. No you don't Here is the article. It is composite steel nothing wrong with whether you add ceramic or NOT. Tank protection uses Chobham steel Which is composite steel made of ceramic, It is still called steel I hate it if people show off their ignorance or lack of reading comprehension!Mr. Hendarto
I implore you once again. Please don't easily forward these Chinese self media messages. At present, the Chinese self media industry is developing savagely, and a large number of self media authors are trying to attract web traffic by exaggerating or fabricating all kinds of massive news (video/picture/text) to attract people's attention. They don't care about the authenticity of these contents and the consequences they cause, they only care about how to turn these web traffic into money.
When you are retweeting this type of message, carefully identify the message first.
I verified the content of this message.
The original source of this message was the South China Morning Post (SCMP) in Hong Kong. It reported that a team from Beijing Institute of Technology had published a design in Acta Armamentarii. The HGV warhead material described in the article is a composite material with an outermost layer of ultra-high-temperature ceramics, followed by a layer of aerogel insulation and finally a layer of stainless steel. It can withstand up to more than 3,000 degrees Celsius. There is no word that the PLA Rocket Force has begun using this technology.
China’s hypersonic missiles can be made from steel, scientists say
Beijing team says their design marks a key step forward in thermal protection technology.www.scmp.com
However, many authors in the self media used the term “stainless steel shell” to describe the news, without mentioning the details.
I am very sick of this practice. I'm even more disgusted by those who know the details and still do it.
The researchers, led by Huang Fenglei, a professor at the Beijing Institute of Technology, unveiled a design for a hypersonic glide anti-ship missile in the peer-reviewed Chinese journal Acta Armamentarii last month.
The partial blueprint shows the shell of the warhead – located at the very front of the missile – made from a widely available, high-strength stainless steel.
Adding a layer of thermal protection on the steel shell could solve the problem, according to the team.
They propose using an ultra-high-temperature ceramic that can withstand temperatures of 3,000 degrees-plus. That would make up a 4mm top layer of the protective barrier.
Underneath it and tightly adhered to the steel shell would be a 5mm layer of aerogel – a heat insulator to keep the temperature of the explosive agent at around 40 degrees during high-speed flight.
Steel begins to melt at around 1,200 degrees Celsius (2,190 Fahrenheit), but the nose of a hypersonic weapon can hit temperatures of up to 3,000 degrees in flight due to heating by the atmosphere.
The team says their missile is designed to reach Mach 8 – or eight times the speed of sound – and that it marks a key step forward in thermal protection technology.

Its use of an inexpensive material is also in line with the Chinese military’s strategy to keep costs down in the hypersonic arms race with the United States and Russia.
The paper does not say what stage the missile is at, or if it has undergone testing.
China is boldly going where no one has gone before

In the US, tungsten alloys are typically used for the parts of a hypersonic vehicle that heat up the most since tungsten has a melting point above 3,400 degrees.
