Research Investigation of Armor Plate Steels
Abstract
The Contractor shall conduct research investigations to systematically study the effects of certain alloying elements on the ballistic properties of properly heat treated rolled homogeneous armor. A foremost consideration will be given to the substitution of nonstrategic alloying elements for nickel and chromium, elements which are respectively difficult to provide in sufficient quantities and of a highly strategic character. Primarily, the elements which will be studied in their effect upon the ballistic qualities of armor will be manganese, molybdenum, copper, silicon and vanadium.
