A METALLURGICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE UNIFORMITY OF 3 INCH CLASS "A" ARMOR PLATE

Abstract

Ballistic limit determinations were made on eight 3" Class A ballistic test plates with 3" AP M61 projectiles at 20 obliquity. The plates were sectioned for metallurgical investigation including chemical composition, tensile properties, hardness distribution, macro-examination and micro-examination.
