Choudhary Metal is a reliable Supplier and Exporter of MIL-A 12560 Military Armor Steel Plates in Mumbai, India. MIL-A 12560 Steel Plate is a military specification armor steel approved by the Material Technology Laboratory, Department of the Army for use in combat vehicles and ammunition testing applications. These plates are manufactured to provide superior protection and durability in demanding defense environments.

MIL-A 12560 Armor Steel Plates are available in a wide range of thicknesses. Plates from 3/16 inch to 3 inches are generally used in combat vehicles, while thicknesses ranging from 1/4 inch to 12 inches are used in proof testing of armor-defeating ammunition. This flexibility makes the material suitable for multiple military and ballistic protection applications.

This grade of military armor steel is commonly used for the protection against landmines and explosive systems. It offers excellent shock absorption properties, which help reduce the impact of explosions and minimize the spread of dangerous shrapnel. Each plate undergoes strict fragment simulated projectile testing to determine the level of protection required for its final application.

Commonly known as Rolled Homogeneous Armor (RHA), this material is available in four different classes depending on the required performance. The typical Brinell Hardness Number (BHN) for this steel ranges between 377 and 415. In addition to hardness testing, various impact and bend tests are conducted to ensure the highest level of strength, reliability, and ballistic resistance.
