This grade is certified by the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) to meet specific standards for bulletproof body armor and ballistic protection products established by the Underwriters Laboratory (UL). It is designed to withstand multiple threat strikes from military grade weapons, due to its high material hardness. Defense and aerospace applications are most common for this plate.
MIL-A 46100 steel plate is DFARS compliant and includes full certification documentation. It is a military-grade steel plate and has high hardness. MIL-A 46100 steel plates are typically used as a structural or vehicle armor to stop high-velocity projectiles, such as sniper fire.

ANSWER:
Armor plate steel is an abrasion resistant steel plate that is manufactured to perform under military conditions. It has high hardness and its thickness and other mechanical and physical properties vary according to the application. Typical applications include armored vehicles, body armor, battle tanks, and many other armored military uses.
ANSWER:
AR500 is a very common steel plate that is used in body armor. It is a specific kind of abrasion resistant steel with a high surface hardness, also called Brinell Hardness, of 477-534. This hardness gives the steel the ability to resist wear, including from high impact, but it also reduces its malleability.
