Armox grades between 300 and 600 Brinell
Armox, SSAB’s well-known high-end protection plate, is delivered from the mill in Oxelösund in a quenched and tempered condition.
The standard Armox grades are manufactured in 300 to 600 Brinell hardness. These grades are delivered with guaranteed mechanical properties (hardness, tensile strength, and impact toughness) in plate thicknesses ranging from 3mm-150mm, depending on the actual grade hardness.
SSAB also offers an ultra-high hardness ballistic grade, Armox Advance. It is delivered with a guaranteed Rockwell C hardness. The plate is available in thicknesses between 4mm and 7.9mm, and is intended for add-on armour applications.
Protection plates for ultimate protection performance
Armox is designed for use when ultimate protection performance is required in combination with ease of use in the workshop.
SSAB also offers Ramor protection plate which is delivered in an as quenched condition with guaranteed hardness, and is intended for civilian applications. Ramor is produced in 300 to 550 Brinell hardness and available as cut-to-length sheets or heavy plate in thicknesses from 2.5mm-30mm, depending on the actual grade hardness. Ramor has good workshop properties.
Protection engineers and vehicle manufacturers are able to tailor their design solutions by using Armox and Ramor; the most complete range of protection plate on the market.
Armox protection plates have been used to protect people in the world’s most dangerous environments for more than 25 years. It has literally been tested in the field.
