Looking for battlefield-tested armor steel plates with certified ballistic protection?
MIL-DTL-12560 Armor Steel Plates are the U.S. military standard for blast and ballistic resistance — trusted by defense OEMs, vehicle fabricators, and high-security infrastructure projects worldwide.
MIL-DTL-12560 is a U.S. Department of Defense specification that governs the composition, hardness, and ballistic properties of steel armor plates. Designed for protection against kinetic energy threats, these plates are used in tactical vehicles, bunker shielding, ballistic doors, and military structures.
There are different classes (e.g., Class 1, Class 2, Class 3) based on welding, hardness, and test level.
MIL-DTL-12560 plates are used in:
| Class | Hardness (BHN) | Welding | Usage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Class 1 | 300–400 BHN | Weldable | Standard vehicle armor |
| Class 2 | 400–500 BHN | Non-weldable | Higher ballistic resistance |
| Class 3 | 500+ BHN | Limited weld | Maximum projectile impact defense |
You can request test data from NIJ Level III / IV comparisons for your required application.
Our MIL-DTL-12560 plates meet:
