300HBW hardening high strength low alloy steel ballistic steel plate
General Product Description
The low-alloy protection plate.
300HBW ballistic steel is a low-alloy protection plate, available as sheet in thicknesses of 3‑6 mm (0.118‑0.236″) and delivering a hardness of 260‑320HBW.
300HBW ballistic steel is not intended for further heat treatment.
Dimension Range
300HBW ballistic steel is available as cut-to-length sheet in thickness between 3.0-6.0 mm.
Mechanical Properties
Thickness (mm) | Hardness (HBW) |
3.0 - 6.0 | 260 - 320 |
Mechanical Testing
Brinell hardness test according to EN ISO 6506-1 on each heat treatment individual/coil.
Hardness is measured on a milled surface 0.3-2 mm below plate surface.

Fabrication and Other Recommendations
Welding, bending and machining
300HBW ballistic steel is not intended for further heat treatment. If 300HBW ballistic steel is heated above 150 °C after delivery from VANFORGE no guarantees for the properties are given.
Appropriate health and safety precautions must be taken when cutting, welding, grinding or otherwise working on the product. Grinding, especially of primer coated plates, may produce dust with high particle concentration.
