As a dedicated supplier of specialty steels, BBN Steel offers a comprehensive range of AR550 ballistic steel, available for immediate dispatch—eliminating long lead times for our clients.

Our AR550 ballistic steel has undergone rigorous performance verification. It is engineered to avoid the brittleness and cracking often associated with excessive hardness, while reliably meeting standard ballistic impact protection requirements. It is well-suited for applications such as the fabrication of armored vehicle hulls and the construction of fixed security barriers. With ample stock across various thicknesses, we can quickly address specific protection needs, helping clients strike the right balance between defensive performance and overall weight.

To assist with fabrication, BBN Steel provides foundational processing guidance. We advise clients to ensure that their cutting and welding techniques are appropriately matched to the material's strength. We also recommend conducting test cuts on small samples prior to full-scale production; this helps minimize material waste and ensures that the AR550 ballistic steel performs to its full potential.
