    The greatest fear of tank drivers everywhere is that someone is going to sneak up to a tank, setup a hydraulic press, and slowly penetrate the armor.

      @dynagoat7374 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +182

      Part of the reason is because different steels are made for different purposes.
      The Soviets could have made armor steel similar to AR500 back in the 1940's. in fact, some of their tank armors were even harder, but there's a reason they didn't continue doing this. Tank armor is not supposed to be as hard as possible. Steel is on a spectrum between hardness (ability to resist deformation) and toughness (ability to withstand shock). Too far in either direction would make it bad for the armor.
      If tank armor was super hard, then it would also be super brittle, and big impacts (like incoming shells) would cause it to shatter super easily. Shards of razor-sharp metal would fly everywhere inside the tank and kill a lot of people.

      Do not forget that the majority of modern tank armor uses higher quality alloys than what was shown here, and also usually is layered with some form of composite (usually advanced ceramics or in the case of the abrams, spent uranium-derived materials) that works in conjunction with the high end alloys to slow, catch, and disperse the energy of, modern super high velocity anti-tank rounds, as well as handle the heat jets from modern shaped charges. A T-90M, Abrams of any model, or a Leopard 2 of any model would simply sneer at any cannon or AP round that WWII could feasibly throw at them.

      From the front? Most definitely. From the sides? Then I would be a bit concerned. From the back or top? They're a goner. Even ww1 artillery would go though the roof of a modern tank like a hot knife through butter.
      Also, your tank list is weird, why list the T-90M, which is a top of the line tank, along with any model of Abrams and Leopard 2? An original Abrams or Leopard 2 is no where close to a T-90M, they are more like a T-72B but with a much worse gun in the case of the Abrams who originally only mounted the near obsolete L7 105mm riffled gun. The soviets where way ahead when it comes to guns as they already moved to a 115mm smoothbore gun back in the 60s when they made the T-62. Even the latest version of Abrams would probably be at a disadvantage against the T-90M as the Abrams tank has bigger weakpoint in the upper glacis. In a hull down fight, it's anyone's guess who has the better chance of penning the other since both armor compositions are unknown to the public at this point.

      Тут дело не только в качестве. Похоже сам подход к созданию броневой стали изменился.
      Раньше считалось, что броня должна обладать высокой вязкостью чтобы снаряд застревал в такой броне примерно как палец в пластилине а сама броня при этом бы не разлеталась на кусочки как во втором случае (чтобы экипаж танка от осколков не пострадал).
      Сейчас же, похоже, опять пришли к высокой твердости брони дабы броня сама по себе сопротивлялась какому-либо внедрению твердого материала (сердечника снаряда) а осколки в случае разрушения, видимо, должен удерживать противоосколочный подбой или какой-то хитрый слой брони из композитного материала.

The M1a1 abrams handled T72s using the same 2a46m main gun as the t90m in iraq, and was never penetrated. I have strong doubts that that situation has changed dramatically enough to put the M1a2sepv3 at substantial risk.
      The soviets in the 50’s absolutely were leading the way by a lot when it came to tank technology, and the IS-3 was definitely better than anything the allies or axis had at the time, but materials technology has come a long way since then, I have very strong doubts that even its 122mm gun with WWII era ammo could take out a modern mbt.
      And the reason as to why I included all of those tanks together is because the original M1, the original leopard 2s, and the T90M, all use technology from the 80’s and 90’s, and are thus roughly contemporary if not equivalent.

    Fun fact: Old style AP shells weren't actually 'pointed'. They were very much like truncated, shouldered cones. It allowed the shell to penetrate, while alleviating a good bit of the weakness of an acutely angled point. The classical 'bullet' shape was actually just a cap that served to increase the ballistic coefficient and to crush as the projectile made contact to help support the shell so it didn't shatter on impact.

      I believe cooling the steel makes it stronger. Reducing the heat would also reduce the repulsive forces between its atoms, making it denser for a short period of time. It'd also counteract the heat produced during compression, allowing it to retain integrity for longer, since heat causes expansion and that expansion isn't uniform which wof lead to catastrophic failure.

Diamond is a 98.07 HRC, while AR500 is among the highest steels at 48.3 HRC. 6061-T6 Aluminium is a 60 HRB, and doesn't have an HRC since its just not in the same category of hardness as steel alloys, for comparison an HRB of 82 rates an HRC of 1, or 120 HRB rates 55 HRC, its due to the different weight and from using a different surface, HRB is measured with a 100kg weight on a 1/16" ball while HRC is a 150kg through a diamond brale indenter. There are steels harder than AR500, even up to 68, but much higher than AR500 seems to be going into specialty alloys that are very difficult and expensive to manufacture. There is also CrCoNi, which rates 468 HV hardness, which is about 46 HRC, but it performed excellently from the looks of things at extremely low temperatures, on the order of a yield strength over 500 MPa under 100K, where a material like 2.25Cr-1Mo, or A387 Grade 22, yielded at about 370 MPa at 100K, 380 MPa at around 20K.

During WWII the T-34 was notorious for this because they made it overly strong, and therefore brittle.

      Ball bearings are made of 52100 steel. Around 1% carbon. They can be fairly hard. There’s more hardenable steel out there. But ar500 is not very hard at all and only it’s outer surface is hard. The core is soft (compared to martensitic steel like 52100 or ball bearings). Ar500 only has .3-.4% carbon, which is low carbon. It’s the .95% manganese and .75% chromium that gives it the boost. It is a very tough or strong steel. But isn’t very hard. This is of course in terms of actual hard steel. I’m not sure what his cone was made of but it wasn’t medium hard steel or hasn’t been heat treated correctly.

When several hundred tons of pressure finally equalizes (the armor breaks), it can send high speed, heavy shrapnel in any direction, doing the type of damage that would make a bullet jealous.

And for example: The mass of a person with a weight of 65kg (~143 pounds) contains the same energy as approx. 100.000 Hiroshima Bombs. No joke. Mass contains extreme amounts of Energy. We are just not yet able to "use" it properly.

      It's very complex to answer this, but to describe it simply: Because there are 1. Different kinds of energy (kinetic energy, heat energy,.. ) and the big problem is the actual conversion from mass to energy or energy to mass.
      The Formula E=mc² actually just tells us how much energy mass contains, if we would be able to convert it 1:1 into energy. And that's technically impossible. By convert energy, you always have a loss and often you have to spend some energy first, before getting some. Also how to catch/store the energy?
      Think of an atomic bomb: By splitting atoms, enormous amounts of energy are released, which spread explosively in fractions of a second through enormous heat and force. If we were able to capture all of this energy without wasting any of it, nuclear fission would be an incredible source of energy. But we can't do that, not yet. We have nuclear power plants that do what an atomic bomb does under controlled conditions on a very small scale. But itself poses enormous risks and dangers.
      Perhaps at some point in the distant future we will find a way to better capture, use and transmit energy from conversion.

    Has anyone considered the following:
    The super cooled metal ball was placed on top of the room temperature AR500 sample. This caused the AR500 to cool rapidly at the point of contact.
    As the pressure increased, the metal under the ball continued too cool, and reached the transition temperature between ductile and brittle fracture.
    The cooled area suffered brittle fracture, which then carried through the AR500 causing it to "explode".
    The dull appearance of the fractured faces are characteristic of Brittle Fracture

    • @Ethan_FPV

      With that much force? It was well beyond the transition temperature and probably was hot to the touch. All that energy has to go somewhere, so before it breaks it goes to heat. Once it breaks, it rapidly converts to kinetic, creating an explosion of sorts.

      * The sphere had 20 minutes of total immersion in liquid nitrogen for the ball to fully reach temperature. This whole thing was done in less than 2 minutes.
      * The AR500 was not submerged in the liquid at all and it had much more mass than the ball.
      * Because it was a sphere there was a very little surface-to-surface contact area between the AR500 and the sphere.
      * The AR500 had full surface contact with the base below it making the mass of AR500 even more.
      * There are ungodly high temperatures being created with that kind of pressure further working against any temperature transfer.

      Hello ! May Allah protect and guide you to his light and happiness in this life and the hereafter, God bless, Ameen. Excuse me for giving a little presentation of Islam, because it is very misunderstood nowadays, especially on those « Antichrist's » times, where media and politics are mixed to distort history and truth. And terrorists (puppets of the Antichrist) who misinterpret verses, out of ignorance and political motivations, and take them out of historical context (just like radical atheists do by the way), don't help either. Thank you very much for your time.
      Islam is an arabic word that means the Surrender to the One and Only God, our Creator, Protector, Provider, who gives us life and all that we have, we are safe and sound by his will and grace, we are His and to Him we return, and we have to thank him in this trial life by submitting to him by our free will, or later in the Day of judgment when it's too late to save our own skin. Islam was the original Religion descended to earth from heaven with Adam and Eve (peace and blessing be upon them) in the beginning of humanity. and was passed to people with the succession of the 124 000 prophets and 315 messengers of God to all nations and civilizations since, passing by Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Ismaël, Joseph, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, David, Solomon and Jesus (Peace and blessing be upon them) during the history of mankind, the last replaces and completes the previous, until the succession of the last messenger of God fourteen centuries ago, Muhammad (Peace and blessing be upon him) to complete the noble morals of all mankind, to bring humans and jinns out of darkness into light, and to purify people's religion and belief from corruption and polytheism, and return it to purity and true monotheism, like it was in the times of the prophets (Peace and blessing be upon them).
      Many Religions that we know nowadays, at their beginning were true and under Islam, initiated by one of the prophets of God, but their original teachings, history and scriptures have been corrupted over time with falsification and polytheism, or lost and replaced with false ones. That's why Islam is the only Religion accepted by God nowadays, which consists in bearing witness that there is no god besides Allah (God in Aramaic, the original language of Jesus and the Gospel), and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, just like Jesus and Moses and others are His servants and messengers. Never a messenger of God said he was God or literally son of God, it was the people after him who changed the words of God and corrupted the Religion. God is unique and absolute, He does not need to have a family and sons or to associate anyone else with His kingdom, He can simply create whatever He wants, everything belongs to Him, and to Him everything will return. Allah said in Surah Al-Mu’minun : “God has never begotten a son, nor is there any god besides Him. Otherwise, each god would have taken away what it has created, and some of them would have gained supremacy over others. Glory be to God, far beyond what they describe. The Knower of the hidden and the manifest. He is exalted, far above what they associate. (91-92 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

So even thou it seemingly survived direct impact without visible damage the inside situation may not be so optimistic.

      Metallurgy and heat treatment has improved by a lot since 1930, but a t-34 is the worst example to list for WW2, the steel was of a very poor quality even by the standards of the 1940s.
      Like the other guy said, it was radically treated for hardness, which made spalling common every time it was hit by a larger shell, and it happened a lot because it was only 45mm thick. Because the armour was highly sloped, there was little space inside for 4 grown men, so there was a lot of meat for loose metal to shred into.

      Allah means the one and only God, the God of all prophets and creatures, the creator of the universe and mankind, and the Master of the Day of judgment, where our destiny, Hell or Paradise, is decided based on our faith and deeds in this trial life, and above all, Allah's mercy.
      Allah said in Surah Al-Ikhlas : In the name of God, the Gracious, the Merciful.
      Say, “He is God, the One. God, the Absolute. He begets not, nor was He begotten. And there is none comparable to Him.” (1-4 / Translated by ITANI).
      Allah said in Surah An-Nisa : O FOLLOWERS of the Gospel! Do not overstep the bounds [of truth] in your religious beliefs, and do not say of God anything but the truth. The Christ Jesus, son of Mary, was but God's Apostle - [the fulfilment of] His promise which He had conveyed unto Mary - and a soul created by Him. Believe, then, in God and His apostles, and do not say, "[God is] a trinity". Desist [from this assertion] for your own good. God is but One God; utterly remote is He, in His glory, from having a son: unto Him belongs all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth; and none is as worthy of trust as God. Never did the Christ feel too proud to be God's servant, nor do the angels who are near unto Him. And those who feel too proud to serve Him and glory in their arrogance [should know that on Judgment Day] He will gather them all unto Himself: (171-172 / Translated by Muhammad Asad).
      Allah the Most Merciful said in Surah Ali-Imran : Behold, the only [true] religion in the sight of God is [man's] self-surrender unto Him; and those who were vouchsafed revelation aforetime took, out of mutual jealousy, to divergent views [on this point] only after knowledge [thereof] had come unto them. But as for him who denies the truth of God's messages - behold, God is swift in reckoning!
      Thus, [O Prophet,] if they argue with thee, say, "I have surrendered my whole being unto God, and [so have] all who follow me!" - and ask those who have been vouchsafed revelation aforetime, as well as all unlettered people, "Have you [too] surrendered yourselves unto Him?" And if they surrender themselves unto Him, they are on the right path; but if they turn away - behold, thy duty is no more than to deliver the message: for God sees all that is in [the hearts of] His creatures.
      Verily, as for those who deny the truth of God's messages, and slay the prophets against all right, and slay people who enjoin equity - announce unto them a grievous chastisement.
      It is they whose works shall come to nought both in this world and in the life to come; and they shall have none to succour them.
      (19-22 / Translated by Muhammad Asad)..

      I work with abrasion resistant steel (known as "AR steel"). It is quenched and tempered to give it hardness. A common brand name is Bisalloy. I'm not sure if it's the same thing as in the video.
      We have recently had issues with the steel plates failing violently while being bent. They're not as brittle as harder products such as cast iron or ceramics, but they're a lot less ductile than mild steel. So as in the video, if a 500-hardness steel (usually measured on the Brinell scale) is deformed too much it will fracture and fail catastrophically.

      AR500 is Iron, Carbon, Manganese, Phosphorus (!), Sulfur, Silicon (ok this is not toxic), Chromium, Nickel, Molybdenum, Boron (!)
      I don't think it's very safe for handling, and simple steel should do better if you have a welding torch at hand.
      The same is with aluminum: nobody like to repair this (cars, ships, ...). Carbon is more nasty to repair.

    This is a great demonstration of armor spalling, tanks usually have an internal layer of softer material, as you can is in the first test each layer would spliter off and throw shards when each plate broke, in reality that happens on the inside of a tank even when a round does not penetrate and those shard themselves can be deadly

    • @plektosgaming
      @plektosgaming 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Yep. Many rounds take this into account as well and prefer dumping energy versus penetration specifically to cause as much spalling as possible. Best case scenario, you take out the crew, worst, something inside is probably bent or broken, rendering the take much less functional.

    In case you're wondering, AR 500 is a type of flash bainite steel. You superheat it and then cool it quickly. This makes the metal crystalize.
    Some guy figured out how to do this in his garage. Turns regular steel into that monster we just saw.
    They make thin body armor inserts out of AR 500. They have to coat the steel with a splotchy paint that absorbs/deflects bullet fragments. The armor is so strong that bullets his the armor and splatter. These fragments can often bounce up into the wearer's chin and injure him. Soldiers get injured because the armor is too strong.

    • @ctrlaltdebug

      @markhugo6642 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      Ah, I looked it up. I think I can clarify your "language". IT IS NOT SUPER-HEATING IT and COOLING QUICKLY that "causes it to crystalize" into the correct crystalline form. ALL METALS (except metals made using a liquid metal spray on a spinning cooling drum, which makes AMORPHOUS STEEL, which is used for transformer lamination) are "crystalline" in nature. The procedure you outlined results in a very hard (and brittle) form of steel known as MARTENSITE. It has to be "tempered" after being formed, otherwise it will shatter, as was seen in the video, but at a much lower stress.

    It’s neat to see this. I watched a documentary that said war graves in the oceans are being robbed of their steel because steel made today have impurities from the A-bombs where steel made prior to it does not contain such materials making its scrap value much higher. In countries that lax regulations surrounding these graves have reported to have a huge spike in body parts being found in yards where scrap is being processed. Most are in bone form but hair and others have been found depending on where in the wreckage they were located.
