Armoured Aluminium
Armoured Aluminium is light, tough and corrosion resistant alternative to steel with the proven ballistic performance and hence, offers good protection without compromising mobility.
MTL's Aluminium Solutions for Armoured Vehicle Protection
MTL works with armoured vehicle manufacturers. Our knowledge of the market allows customers to recognise large weight savings without reducing levels of protection. Whether for hull structures, appliqué/add-on kits or underbelly applications, a wide variety of advanced aluminium solutions allow our customers to respond to different needs.
We hold long standing relationships with some of the leading armoured vehicle manufacturers in Europe, South Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. MTL has provided armoured aluminium products for integral application products such a applique and underbelly armour.
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.
