High Hard Specialty Steel Armor

INTRODUCTION
ATI 500-MIL® High Hard Specialty Steel is wrought Ni-Cr-Mo specialty steel for armor plate. The balanced composition of the alloy lends itself to excellent toughness relative to other "high-hard" alloys while maintaining ballistic resistance that meets the MIL-DTL-46100E standard. The alloy's high toughness results in good blast properties.

Due to the processing practices utilized for ATI 500-MIL® steel, residual stresses are low; and plate exhibits minimal distortion after mechanical cutting. Thermal cutting may produce some distortion, but this typically will be much less than would be seen for liquid-quenched materials.
