Values as listed on our product pages, for orientation. Protection depends on the threat, thickness, angle and system design, so the grade must be qualified for your application.
How to Select the Right Ballistic Steel Plate
- Threat level
- Hardness
- Thickness & weight
- Blast & toughness
- Fabrication
Start from the protection level your design must achieve and the test standard used to prove it. Higher hardness generally stops projectiles with less thickness, while tougher grades resist cracking under blast and multiple hits. Armour steels lose their properties if heated above the mill's limits, so cutting and welding must follow the mill's instructions. This guidance supports purchasing; the protection designer's approved grade and test results decide suitability.
Standards and Specifications

Mill-branded armour steels are supplied to the producer's own data sheet. If your programme requires a military specification or a particular ballistic test standard, name it on the enquiry so the plate offered can be checked against it.
Plate Sizes and Delivery Condition
- Armor 5002 – 30 mm
- HSC 500T3 – 80 mm
- MIL-A-125603/16" – 12"
These thickness ranges come from our Armor 500, HSC 500T and MIL A12560 pages; they describe what each grade is offered in, not the size of every plate in stock. Armor 500 is listed as sheet from 2 to 6.5 mm and plate from 6 to 30 mm. Armour steel is supplied quenched, or quenched and tempered, and is not intended for further heat treatment.
Applications and Service Requirements
| Application | Grade family to evaluate | Selection input |
|---|---|---|
| Military and security vehicles | 500 HBW armour, MIL-DTL-46100, MIL-DTL-12560 | Threat level, weight and blast requirement |
| Protected structures and housings | 500 HBW armour | Protection level, panel size and fixing |
| Cash-in-transit and civil protection | Armor 500, HSC 500T | Certification required and thickness |
| Ammunition proof testing | MIL-DTL-12560 | Class, thickness and test programme |
These are material application examples. Final selection depends on the threat, the design and the qualification your programme requires.
Cut-to-Size Armour Plates
Ballistic plate can be cut to size and shape to your drawings through our cutting services, including plasma cutting. Send the grade, thickness, drawing, quantity and tolerances. Thermal cutting softens a narrow zone along the cut edge, so tell us if edges must keep full hardness.
Testing, Material Documents and Traceability
State the certificate type and test scope with the RFQ. A mill test certificate for the plate and the company's quality-system certification are different documents.
| Requirement | What to identify in the order |
|---|---|
| Material certificate | EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2, showing grade, chemistry, hardness and mechanical results |
| Ballistic testing | Test standard and threat level, if the plate or lot must be ballistically tested |
| Heat traceability | Heat or plate number on the plate and certificate; transfer to cut pieces where required |
| Inspection and end use | Buyer or government inspection, and end-user documents for export |
Review our Quality Policy and include your programme's inspection requirements in the enquiry.
