Cold Forming Process for Aluminium Armour Plate

Building on our expertise in forming steel armour plate, we have developed a reliable and repeatable cold forming process for aluminium armour plate which can change the design and manufacture of aluminium land system platforms in the future.

Aluminium armour materials were never developed with cold forming in mind so intrinsically pose challenges to avoid common modes of failure such as cracking.
