ANSWER:
There are a couple differences between MIL-A-12560 and MIL-A-46100. One of the main differences is that MIL-A-125600 is extremely good at absorbing shock compared to MIL-A-46100. MIL-A-46100 is typically used to stop hyper-velocity projectiles, and not so much to protect from landmines and explosives.
ANSWER:
MIL-A-12560 has a yield strength of 158 ksi, tensile strength of 175 ksi and a 12% elongation.
ANSWER:
Kloeckner Metals is a national supplier of MIL-A-12560 armor steel. With over 40 locations, Kloeckner Metals has a nationwide reach.
