Armor Steels Grade 44 and 56 for Body Armor


Steel Grade 44 combines high strength, ductility, toughness and feature good resistance to impact loads.

It is achieved not only by the steel chemical composition, but also by using new melting and thermal treatment methods.

The steel is manufactured as 2…15mm thick sheets.

The steel is widely used in body armor, civil car armoring and bank equipment protection.

Mechanical Properties

Ultimate strength, MPa Yield strength,
MPà
Proportional limit, MPà Elongation, % RA, % Impact strength, J/sq.cm
2050…2200 1550…1700 1400…1500 8..10 30…40 50…60 40…50

The steel allows production of protective tiles of any shape; bending radius is less than 50mm.

The steel is weldable by special electrodes.

The armor panels made of Steel 44 feature multi-hit ability up to 5 hits into the area of 30õ30mm.


 

Ultrahighstrength bulletproof steel Grade 56 is made by a unique thermomechanical treatment method which ensures the combination of high strength, ductility and toughness in high-carbon armor steels with the carbon content up to 0.4-0.55%.

 

The steel is patented (Patent RF No. 2015491).
