Advantages<br />
Based on <strong>Aleris</strong>’ unique manufacturing<br />
technologies, such as the world’s most<br />
powerful 160’’ (4,064 mm) wide hot rolling<br />
mill and the 8,000 tons stretcher,<br />
high performance plate products with<br />
extraordinary dimensions can be produced,<br />
leaving nothing to be desired.<br />
All dimensional requirements in terms<br />
of thickness covered by the relevant TL<br />
Characteristics of aluminium armour alloys<br />
Specifi c manufacturing capabilities<br />
and MIL specifi cations can be fulfi lled<br />
as a minimum. Moreover, armour plates<br />
in extreme widths can be provided to<br />
reduce the number of weld seams in a<br />
cost effi cient manufacturing process <strong>–</strong><br />
a key manufacturing cost and design<br />
integrity advantage.<br />
Through Alustar ® <strong>Aleris</strong> offers the broadest<br />
range and maximizes design fl exibility.<br />

<strong>Defence</strong> <strong>Aluminium</strong><br />
Conclusion<br />
<strong>Aleris</strong> offers a large variety of armour<br />
plate materials for ballistic protection.<br />
The product portfolio comprises high<br />
strength, heat-treatable 2xxx and 7xxx<br />
series alloys but also 5xxx series alloys,<br />
such as Alustar ® with low density, excel-<br />
lent weldability and corrosion resistance.<br />
At the same time the ballistic protection<br />
is comparable to the best performing<br />
high strength alloys used in the industry<br />
today.
