Armour & Protection

The strength and reliability of BISALLOY® ARMOUR steel has long been selected to support Australia’s defence forces and is an achievement which brings great pride to Bisalloy Steels.

We partner closely with customers and engage with leaders in science and technology to deliver truly innovative and tailored product solutions and services – one such example being the BISALLOY® ARMOUR steel plate, specifically developed for the Australian Submarine Corporation for the hulls of Australia’s six Collins Class submarines, which won international acclaim for its strength, weldability and toughness.

Offering quality that is second to none, BISALLOY® ARMOUR steel has become the first choice in defence applications here and abroad and is specified for hulls in Armoured Personnel Carriers (APC), Light Armoured Vehicles (LAV) and the Bushmaster Infantry Mobility Vehicles in Australia, along with many APCs and LAVs worldwide.

In addition to such traditional support for manufacturers of armoured vehicles, Bisalloy Steels is also increasingly supplying BISALLOY® ARMOUR steel to police, military forces, government and civilian applications worldwide for use in security vehicles, training facilities, security booths, splinter boxes embassy ‘safe rooms’ and myriad other applications.

While a wide range of defence and civil application grades are produced by Bisalloy Steels, for security reasons only limited details are available for publication. If you require further detailed information, please contact Bisalloy Steels directly.

Developed to complement the BISALLOY® ARMOUR steel range, which has become the first choice in defence applications here and abroad, the BISALLOY® PROTECTION steel range offers tested and certified, lighter weight plate products with superior ballistic performance to suit a wide range of applications for the protection of life, valuables and property.

The BISALLOY® PROTECTION steel range runs the gamut of vital performance characteristics including strength, toughness and shock loading resistance, along with the ability to be readily formed, fabricated and welded as required.

This makes it eminently suited to government and civilian applications including light armoured vehicles, land and sea patrol vehicles, cash-in-transit vehicles, safes and strongboxes, security booths, public and private facilities, safe rooms and many more protective applications.

While offering the same confidence in product quality that the market has come to expect from all Bisalloy products, the BISALLOY® PROTECTION steel range also adds convenience to its list of valuable attributes as it is offered as a standardised product range that can be very easily specified and ordered – even spot orders and small volumes – with short lead times.
