Safe \u00ae 500 – Ballistic Protection Steel<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Safe is a ballistic protection steel with excellent flatness. The optimized chemical composition together with carefully controlled heating, rolling and heat treatment sequences provide Safe\u00ae 500 with the optimal combination of weldability, flexibility and ballistic protection.
\nIt can be used in most civil protection applications, i.e. civil armored vehicles (limousines and sedans, SUVs), cash-in-transit vehicles, police cars, bulletproof doors, window frames and wall panels, etc.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space]<\/span><\/span>Open (ENG)<\/span><\/span><\/a>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text animation_delay=”0″]\n

Plate processing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Cutting<\/strong>
\nSafe \u00ae 500<\/strong> can be cut either by abrasive waterjet, laser or plasma.<\/p>\n

Bending<\/strong>
\nSafe\u00ae 500\u00a0<\/strong>offers ability to cold forming but as other protection steels must be used with caution. The elastic energy stored during forming may lead to rupture or shifting. It is essential to maintain a safety distance and not situate oneself in front of the plate while it is being formed. It is crucial to wear appropriate individual safety equipment and to equip machines with collective protection.
\nThe capacity of the machine and tools must be suitable information on bending loads in relation to tools, plate thickness and steel strength.
\nThe most important parameter when bending are the use of a correct punch radius. Please contact us if you need assistance.<\/p>\n
