Ballistic Steel

Ballistic steel is a type of steel designed for ballistic protection applications, used to manufacture armor plates mainly for armored vehicles and bulletproof vests.

ARMALLOY 500 BALLISTIC PLATE

Armaralloy 500 is a high-strength, high-hardness ballistic steel designed for applications that require advanced protection against impact and penetration. This steel is especially suitable for manufacturing armor components, delivering high performance under extreme security and protection conditions.

  • Composition: Hardened steel alloy with high carbon and chromium content, formulated to maximize hardness and ballistic resistance.
  • Properties: High hardness, excellent abrasion and penetration resistance, high toughness, and impact energy absorption capacity.
  • Heat treatment: Controlled hardening to improve ballistic properties without compromising structural strength.
  • Durability: Long service life in high-demand applications, protecting equipment and structures from ballistic impacts.
  • Superior ballistic protection: Delivers excellent performance against projectiles, impacts, and penetration, making it ideal for vehicle armor and critical structures.
  • High hardness and wear resistance: Withstands extreme wear conditions, extending component service life.
  • Impact absorption: Dissipates impact energy, protecting equipment and personnel in high-risk situations.
  • Abrasion resistance: Ideal for environments with constant contact with abrasive materials, such as mining or the transport of hazardous materials.
  • Lower operating costs: Less maintenance and replacement due to its high durability, reducing operating costs.
  • Defense Industry: Applications: Armor for military and transport vehicles; protection systems for sensitive infrastructure; armor for aircraft and vessels; and protective components for combat equipment and defense systems.
  • Automotive Industry (armored vehicles): Applications: Armor for civilian and military armored vehicles; security trucks; cash-in-transit vehicles; and tactical vehicles.
  • Security Industry: Applications: Ballistic linings for high-security doors, windows, and walls; protection systems for government and high-risk buildings; and personal protection devices.
  • Mining Industry: Applications: Linings for mining equipment exposed to extreme wear conditions and protection for heavy machinery in high-impact areas.
  • Aerospace Industry: Applications: Ballistic protection components for aircraft, helicopters, and aerospace defense systems.
