General Product Description

Blast protection plate.

Armox® 440T combines excellent penetration and shock resistance. It offers vehicle designers new ways to increase protection using lighter weight designs.

Benefits of using Armox® 440T include: 

  • Superior workshop properties
  • Optimized solutions
  • Perfect hardness/toughness balance, for combined penetration and blast protection
  • Expertise in ballistic protection from SSAB

Armox® 440T is not intended for further heat treatment.
