Investigation of 1/2 Inch Armor Plate Covered by Aberdeen Proving Ground 47th Partial Report dated February 10, 1932

Abstract

The first thing done was to determine the Brinell Hardness, both front and back of each plate. This was done by using the standard Brinell Hardness testing machine with a load of 3000 Kgs. The hardness values obtained showed a rather wide fluctuation on plate 960-6; and due to this, it was thought advisable to take three sections from thin plate as indicated on the sketch showing Brinell Hardness for the front of the plate.
