MARS 300
MARS® Steels for ballistic protection
Safety of personnel is the priority, both in the civilian domain as well for military applications.
Faces with sophisticated and aggressive projectiles, vehicles and equipment need more efficent protection, but together with specific operational characteristics.
Hardness – Ductility – Toughness
These three elements are the first requirements in order to obtain the most efficient protection.
150 years of experience have given us the knowledge and “know how” to offer specific products providing the best solutions: MARS® steels:
- A large thickness range, from 2,5 mm to 600 mm.
- Products oriented ultra-high hardness for resistance to impact penetration of kinetic projectiles.
- Hard but “quiet” material, the consequence of a well adapted quenching process. It provides a lack of residual stress, allowing us to hold excellent flatness during all procesing operations.
MARS 240
Offers an excellent comprise between ballistic properties and processing.
MARS 300
The highest resistance to very aggressive projectiles when weight saving is essential.
