MIL-DTL-46100 is the U.S. military standard for ultra-high-hardness steel used in protection against armor-piercing rounds, high-velocity projectiles, and battlefield-grade kinetic impacts.
If you’re seeking steel that’s battle-tested, blast-proven, and reliably certified, this is your material.
MIL-DTL-46100 is a specification issued by the U.S. Department of Defense for high-hardness armor steel plates. It outlines mechanical, ballistic, and testing requirements for use in defense vehicles, bunkers, and combat equipment that demand superior hardness (477–534 BHN) without brittleness.
This grade offers exceptional penetration resistance, spall control, and weldability for Class 1 requirements.
These plates are extensively used in:
All our armor plates meet:
We supply MIL-DTL-46100 plates globally, including:
We support:
Format | Description |
---|---|
Flat Plate | Raw sheets or flame-cut blanks |
CNC Cut Parts | Ready-to-assemble shapes |

MIL-DTL-46100 has a higher BHN range and is more suitable for direct-impact threats like armor-piercing rounds, while MIL-DTL-12560 is broader and includes more weldable options.
Yes. It is one of the most preferred grades for maximum threat scenarios involving 7.62x51mm, 5.56 NATO, or .50 cal rounds.
If you require weldability, specify Class 1 (which is tested for welding compatibility). Class 2 is ultra-hard but less weld-friendly.
Yes. Plates can be supplied with full ballistic impact test certificates from approved defense labs.
Our HIND ARMOR 500 / HSC 500T range provides equivalent hardness and performance for Indian OEMs and defense contractors.
We manufacture ballistic-grade steel solutions under our HIND ARMOR brand that match or outperform many imported standards — optimized for OEM use in India and abroad.
