General Product Description

Ultra-high-hardness armour steel with high resistance to ballistic penetration.

Protection 600T; it is supplied in the order thickness range of 4.00 – 20.00 mm and hardness range of 570-650 HBW.

Heat Treatment Condition

“EN 10029” or “EN 10051” standards are applied in dimensional tolerances.

“EN 10029” Class C tolerances are guaranteed for thickness. Thickness tolerance application is according to “Narrowed Miilux Thickness Tolerances” which is more restrictive than “EN 10029” Class C.

EN 10029 Class N, Steel Type H tolerances are guaranteed for the planarity.

Surface Condition

EN 10163-2 (Class B, Subclass 3) standard is guaranteed for the surface defects.

The surface of the Steel Plates is sandblasted according to ISO 8501-1 Sa 2½ quality.

Unless otherwise specified, shop primer is applied to Miilux products, which has been specially developed in order to provide very high welding and cutting speed after the sandblasting, with very low welding porosity and very low burning rate in the reverse area.

The shop primer protects the structure against atmospheric corrosion during the storage. It is applied at a thickness of 15-25 microns (these values are specified for a smooth test panel).

The paint type, which is used, has a performance suitable for the processes of welding and cutting.

Marking is done with Punch.

Product Certificate

Certification is performed according to the EN 10204 norm.

Test results are provided in English and/or Turkish in accordance with EN 10204-3.1.For

EN-10204-3.2 test certificates, at the time of order, it should be specified.

Dimensions and Delivery Conditions

Miilux products are supplied with a maximum width of 2500 mm and a maximum length of 8000 mm. Special size requests should be discussed at the ordering stage.

By negotiating at the order stage, Miilux products can be supplied as component parts that are cut ready for assembly in accordance with the customer’s request.

The requests for Protection 600T in other sizes should be discussed at the time of order.

Ultrasonic Testing

It can be done in accordance with EN ISO 10160. Contact Miilux Sales, at the order stage, for the application class.

Ballistic Features

Miilux Protection 280T Ballistic Performance meets “MIL-DTL-12560 Class 2” requirements.

Miilux Sales team should be contacted, at the order stage, for order-specific test requests. 

Each customer is obliged to verify the requested plate thickness, to evaluate the suitability of the information provided to the request and the potential risks according to the area of use.

Mechanical Tests

Brinell hardness test is applied on every armour steel in accordance with EN ISO 6506-1 principles. If the thickness of the hardness measurement area is thinner than 4.75 mm, the 5/750 HBW measurement method is used. For other thicknesses, the 10/3000 HBW method is used.

The hardness tests are performed on the machined surface at a depth of 0.50 – 1.00 mm from the armour steel surface.

Charpy V-Notch Impact Test is applied in perpendicular and parallel directions to the rolling direction in all castings and thickness* in accordance with EN ISO 148-1 principles.

For products thinner than 11.00 mm nominal thickness, sub-size samples are used. The determined minimum impact value is then proportional to the test specimen’s cross-sectional area. (*in order thickness of 6.00 mm and thicker armour steel)

Order-specific test requests should be discussed with Miilux Sales team at the order stage.
