    Can our 150 ton hydraulic press push a hole in to bullet proof AR500 / Hardox 500 armor / wear steel? We are going to try push steel nut, ball bearing, piece of high quality tool steel and giant steel spike through the armor.

    And I forgot to mention on the video but the plate was 12mm / half a inch thick. So good up to .338 Lapua. And the video where we explode the box that you saw at the NordVPN part is going to be exploded into pieces on next weeks Beyond the Press video! So no worries that's coming soon :D

    Excellent Work!!! Ar500 generic tends to be a little harder than Hardox 500 (48HRC) that comes in 400/500/550/600 Brinnel hardness But Hardox uses virgin ore and approx 0.03% Boron than helps with through hardening properties and tends to be tougher overall with higher Charpy values :-)) Armox is the same company, basically a lean medium carbon steel 1040 class grain refined ,quenched and Tempered. When shooting armour piercing rounds at steel plate quite often the round does not always push through but like with fast lead core fmj rounds it actually fractures the steel and knocks a plug through, hence Charpy Test is of greatest importance ;-)))

      Yep, Hardox does good in this HPC torture test. This application of slow pressing, grinding, abrasion is actually what Hardox is meant to withstand. Hardox is often used in the dump truck beds meant for hauling rocks and gravel, I think also teeth for digging bucket/scoops, edges of bulldozer scapers and such. Armox is meant to be ductile and resistant even in really fast loading applications like containing/resisting explosives and projectile energy dissipation. I think however Armox might be subject to special licensing because of it's obvious usage in warfare equipment... you don't want everybody to be on equal terms...

    Hardox is a brand of AR (Abrasion Resistant) steel and it is also available in the US. If you specify "AR500" on a drawing, its telling the vendor that any equivalent material is suitable. Though, if you want a specific brand to assure a higher level of quality or tighter property tolerances, you can specify Hardox or similar brand.

      Don't think so. Carbide tools are used in machining all the time and they cut best with speed. They're used because tungsten carbide can take high temperatures better and tungsten carbide tools remove large amounts of material quickly and reduce machining times.
      HSS tools can take slow speeds, but they're still softer than armored steel. Cutting speeds with HSS are about 10% of what tungsten carbide can do.

      No... there was NO matter. There was/is a universe packed with "quantum grit" in zero motion. An asymmetry caused a wave to ripple through it, causing that lazy stored energy to liberate itself by forming subatomic building blocks through the motion imparted to said "grit". At the instant the disturbance began, yes, all the motion (and thus "matter", kinda) existed in a singularity, but it in no way held all the currently existing matter. That is why the current expansion of spacetime exceeds c, it is not effecting anything "material", thus not held to that einsteinian speed limit. It's just grit gaining motion as the matrix of grit that held it immobile decays.

    @C-M-E 3 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Hey, something that I happened to know a bit about! Quick summary for anyone wanting a background on hardened steels: AR500, in the western world at least, is better known for its Abrasion Resistance (hence the AR) and come in many many rating flavors. Where 500 has come to be known as target steel, there are also higher ratings, 700 for instance would be used on digger buckets for industrial backhoes. There's nothing super magical about AR500, it's just tough and relatively cheap.
    What is interesting about this case is that defeating armor typically involves tremendous force (in ballistics, more speed) on a smaller surface area combined with material choice. That same ball bearing propelled at higher speed would still shatter/splinter against AR500, however with sufficient force AND speed behind it, very interesting things can make an eye-opening difference on penetrative qualities. =)

    True armor piercing bullets have a core harder than average tool steel. Closer to ar800-850 hardness. Some old soviet era ammo used mild tool steel for bullet cores to save money over using all lead cores. Many people falsely call any steel core/tip bullet armor piercing, even though the steel inside is only about ar200 equivalent hardness. Great video overall. I was hoping to see one of these things go through though. All things in time.

    • @Lilith-Rose
      @Lilith-Rose 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      The reason shooting targets are often made from hardox rather than armox is the price. Since targets are considered to be consumables you don't need to use the premium grade stuff designed for use as armour. Sure you would be able to use thinner guage material for the same bullet resistance if you chose armox but it'd be so much more expensive than just using a thicker piece of hardox, and since with targets the weight difference doesn't really matter it makes sense to go with the cheaper option that is just as effective

      Us military (possibly others) used ar500 steel plates during the iraq/afghanistan wars. Its easier to make and cheaper than the standard esapi ceramic/kevlar plates. The steel is more durable long term. They've since moved to ceramic hybrid armor that saves weight but costs the taxpayers even more to fund. As long as the bullet isnt AP or going faster than 3300fps, it a decent choice for ppe if you dont mind an extra 15lbs. (Not the best, but a still viable option) 👍✌️

People that didn't get IBAs got old PASGTs or "Flak", which were just kevlar as the military industrial complex caught up with production. AR-500 has never been rated by the US military in any proving ground as safe for performing as armor, and therefore would have never been issued as armor. If a steel plate was ever issued, it would have been RHA, or Rolled Homogeneous Armor, specified under MIL-DTL-46177, which was inactivated in 2009.

      I wonder if there's cavitation in the hydraulic system, slowly eating away at the cylinder and the pump, one video at a time. I've often thought Lauri could simply put the two bottom plates on top of each other instead of next to each other to add some rigidity to "explosive" setups, but that probably doesn't make for popular videos. It seems to me like much of the deflection springback comes from the base plates and not from the rest of the press.

    The steel penetrator goes through AR-500 when it's moving fast because the target doesn't have time to bend and spread the pressure around.

      My guess, It would basically be a spikey version of the ball bearing. On softer materials, either no deformation and it goes through, or the pressure goes too big and it suddenly blows apart in an explosion of shards. On hard things, the tip breaks off first and then when it is blunter it goes a bit and then blows apart completely.

    4. Place the pointed end of the cylinder at the AR500 plate & hold it in a vertical position with a nut that has an inner diameter that is just barely larger than the diameter of the cylinder.
