STEEL ARMOR PLATE

Clifton Steel stocks armor plate steel in MIL-A-12560, MIL-DTL-46177 and MIL-DTL-46100 in the latest revisions.  Our in-house state-of-the-art heat treat lines produce quenched and tempered armor plate steel.  These lines allow for improved control of product, quicker response time to our customers, and the ability to offer special sizes that can reduce our customers' overall cost of manufacturing.  Clifton Steel's armor plate is fully DOD approved.

MIL-A-12560 REV H AMD 4

MIL-A-12560 is designed for both good ballistic resistance as well as defending against IED (improvised explosive devices).

The grade includes four Classes:
Class 1 - For resistance to penetration
Class 2 - For resistance to shock
Class 3 - For evaluation only. This Class is not used on vehicles
Class 4 - For maximum resistance to penetration

Clifton Steel inventories Class 1, 2 and 3 in thickness ranges of
Class 1 - 0.25" - 6"
Class 2 - 0.25" - 1.25"
Class 3 - 2" - 6"

Our stock is always available at the latest revision, including the newly revised MIL-DTL-12560 Rev J in the same classes as listed above. We stock this product in sizes that allow it to be laser ready without the need to cut down from a larger plate or perform additional surface cleaning. The new specification allows us to inventory thicknesses as low as 0.100".


MIL-DTL-46177 REV C

MIL-DTL-46177 is made to provide a higher hardness range than the MIL-A-12560 grade within the thickness range of 0.125" up to 0.250". We also stock this product in sizes that allow it to be laser ready without the need to cut down from a larger plate or perform additional surface cleaning. This specification is now part of MIL-DTL-12560 Rev J, however we maintain inventory of product to this specification for support of past vehicle platforms that require this specification.


MIL-DTL-46100 REV E

The high hardness properties of MIL-DTL-46100 provide for excellent resistance to penetration. Clifton Steel stocks and produces some of the lightest gauges available in this product. We also stock this product in sizes that allow it to be laser ready without the need to cut down from a larger plate or perform additional surface cleaning. Our stock ranges from 0.100" to 2". We also stock inventory to MIL-A-46100 Rev D Amd 1 to support the needs of previous vehicle platforms requiring this material.
