A technical illustration showing materials processing: alumina and silicon carbide powders lead to a spark plasma sintering press, then a speckled ceramic disc hit by a bullet, and finally an armored vehicle. Below, icons for cost and performance.

A realistic and technical illustration for a thesis slide that reads left-to-right (use arrows to show flow). Leftmost: two piles of powder — one white (alumina) and one black (silicon carbide). Arrow pointing right to the center: a schematic Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) press with an electric bolt symbol, next to a microwave oven with visible wave lines and a small mechanical press. Arrow pointing right to a single dense ceramic plate: white surface with large, obvious black spots (big SiC inclusions) — clearly a speckled composite disc. Arrow pointing right to the far right: a modern military armored vehicle with the ceramic plate integrated on its hull. Between the plate and the vehicle, show a bullet impacting the plate and shattering on contact with dramatic fragments. Below the main row, two simple icons: a euro symbol with an equals sign (indicating stable cost) and a shield with an upward arrow (indicating higher performance). Minimal, neutral background, clean composition, realistic illustrative rendering, warm desaturated color palette, soft studio lighting, high detail, suitable for a concise 180s thesis presentation slide, aspect ratio 16:9.
