Mars 280

Advantages
  • Easy processing (for a wide range of thicknesses), while keeping good and multipurpose ballistic properties for any kind of threat
  • Adapted metallurgical properties according to specific requirements (chemical composition, hardness range, thickness range…)
  • Excellent homogeneity and reproducibility

Mars 380

Advantages
  • Easy processing (for a wide range of thicknesses), while keeping good and multipurpose ballistic properties for any kind of threat
  • Adapted metallurgical properties according to specific requirements (chemical composition, hardness range, thickness range…)
  • Excellent homogeneity and reproducibility.
  • Available in different classes:
    *Class 1: for vehicules structures
    *Class 3: for targets for the evaluation of armor-defeating ammunitions.

Mars 440

Advantages
  • Easy processing (for a wide range of thicknesses), while keeping good and multipurpose ballistic properties for any kind of threat
  • Adapted metallurgical properties according to specific requirements (chemical composition, hardness range, thickness range…)
  • Excellent homogeneity and reproducibility

Mars 500

Advantages
  • Well balanced solution between workability and weight saving used in military and civil applications
  • Tight tolerances (+/-0.2 mm) from very thin thickness 2.5 mm up to medium thickness
  • Excellent flatness and homogeneity, Mars® 500 sheets are delivered with a guaranteed flatness of 3 mm/m and uniformity of mechanical properties throughout the material

Mars 600

New metallurgical concept combining 600 HB hardness level with excellent ductility and toughness close to a 500 HB material. Ultra-High-Hard Armor steel with very high ballistic performances and integration possibilities

First multipurpose 600 HB with an impressive ballistic behavior in terms of deformation capacity, resistance to multi-impacts and and best in its class workability (mainly bending)

Advantages
  • Easy processing (for a wide range of thicknesses), while keeping good and multipurpose ballistic properties for any kind of threat
  • Adapted metallurgical properties according to specific requirements (chemical composition, hardness range, thickness range…)
  • Excellent homogeneity and reproducibility

Mars 650

Mars® 650 is a ultra-high-hard (typical 650 HBW) protection steel offering uncompromising ballistic resistance performance, for use as add-on armor when weight reduction is essential.

Easy integration in multi materials and composite solutions with its incredible flatness of 3 mm/m

Advantages
  • Easy processing (for a wide range of thicknesses), while keeping good and multipurpose ballistic properties for any kind of threat
  • Adapted metallurgical properties according to specific requirements (chemical composition, hardness range, thickness range…)
  • Excellent homogeneity and reproducibility

Perforated Mars 650

Mars® 650 is a ultra-high-hard (typical 650 HBW) protection steel offering uncompromising ballistic resistance performance, for use as add-on armor.
In the perforated version, holes are evenly distributed within the surface to interact with the diameter of the incoming threat. The use of specific perforation process leads to very good flatness, absence of HAZ and low residual stress.

Advantages
  • Easy processing (for a wide range of thicknesses), while keeping good and multipurpose ballistic properties for any kind of threat
  • Adapted metallurgical properties according to specific requirements (chemical composition, hardness range, thickness range…)
  • Excellent homogeneity and reproducibility
