MIL-A 46100 Steel Plate is a military-grade special armor steel known for its extremely high hardness and superior ballistic protection. This steel is approved for use by the Department of the Navy and is widely utilized across various departments and agencies of the Department of Defense. At Choudhary Metal, we maintain a strong stock of approved MIL-A 46100 armor steel plates for demanding defense applications.

MIL-A 46100 Armor Steel Plates are mainly used to stop high-velocity projectiles (HVPS). This specialized military specification armor plate is highly effective in protecting defense structures, armored vehicles, and security equipment from sniper fire and other high-impact ballistic threats. Depending on the required threat level, different steel plate thicknesses are used to manufacture the final protective product.

The threat level is determined by three major factors: the size of the projectile, the speed at which the projectile is traveling, and the distance the projectile travels before reaching the target. These factors help define the appropriate armor plate thickness required for optimal protection.

MIL-A 46100 Steel is produced through a quenching and tempering process at very high temperatures to achieve maximum durability and protection. The surface hardness of this armor steel typically ranges between 477 and 534 BHN, ensuring outstanding impact resistance and ballistic performance. Although the material can be formed and fabricated, proper care must be taken during processing, as due to its ductility limitations, it should not be bent improperly.
