Bulletproof Steel Sheet
NP550 PRO500 Ballistic Steel Plate
High hardness ballistic plate for shooting targets armor plate and armored vehicle work
NP550 PRO500 bulletproof steel plate is a quenched and tempered ballistic plate supplied at 500-600HBW, also described as ballistic steel plate or armor steel sheet. Range operators target manufacturers and vehicle armoring shops specify it where a hard working face has to take repeated impact without being replaced after every session. Because folding welding and cutting all become harder as ballistic capability rises, the plate is profiled and hole cut here on a laser machine or a water jet rather than in the customer's workshop. Thickness is supplied from 2mm to 100mm against customized sizes.

Why It Is Specified
Key Benefits of NP550 PRO500 Bulletproof Steel Plate
Delivered at 500-600HBW
The plate is supplied in the 500-600HBW hardness range. Structural steel may be only half as hard, which is why it is not used for the same duty.
Multi Hit Capacity From the Property Set
Yield strength of 1250 MPa and tensile strength of 1600 MPa are stated for this plate. The source material attributes a greater multi hit capacity to that combination than to other steel.
Suited to Shooting Target Service
Shooting targets are listed among the applications alongside armor plate and armor car work. A hard working face holds shape where softer plate deforms and has to be swapped out.
Profiling Done on Laser and Water Jet
All fixing holes and cutting to size are performed on our laser machine or a water jet. Target frames and vehicle panels arrive with their holes already in place.
Quoted Against Named Protection Levels
Levels covered are FB4+ FB5 FB6 FB7 NIJ IIIA NIJ III NIJ IV STANAG 4569 Level 1 and Level 2 and GA-3 to GA-6. Order lines can reference the same level as the tender document.
One Range From 2mm to 100mm
Thin target faces and heavy structural protection come from the same stock. A range refit and a vehicle build can be quoted on one contract.
Problems It Solves
What This Material Removes From Your Process
Target Plates Replaced Too Often
Softer plate deforms under repeated impact and has to be changed out. A working face in the 500-600HBW band holds its shape far longer in the same service.
Mounting Holes That Cannot Be Drilled
Drilling a hardened plate destroys shop tooling and often the plate. Hole positions are cut here on laser or water jet before the plate is shipped.
Specifications Written in Protection Levels
Tender documents name NIJ FB STANAG 4569 or GA levels rather than steel grades. Quoting against those levels keeps the purchase order aligned with the tender.
Thickness Fixed Without Regard to Hardness
Ballistic performance at a given thickness rises with hardness, so a thickness copied from a softer material will not behave the same way. The two are decided together.
Buying Whole Plates for a Few Panels
Customized size supply against a cutting list means you pay for the panels you install rather than for plate you nest and scrap.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Used
Shooting Ranges and Target Systems
Static and swinging target plates and backstop faces where impact is continuous and replacement cost drives the material choice.
Armor Plate and Armored Vehicles
Armor plate and armor car work including armored personnel carriers combat vehicles and money transport vehicles.
Armor Doors Walls and Ballistic Windows
Fixed installations where panels are built into door leaves wall linings and window frames.
Bank Counters and Confidential Safes
Counter fronts and safe bodies where thin hard panels sit inside joinery.
Boats and Rotary Wing Platforms
Anti-smuggling boats landing craft and helicopters fitted with protection panels inside the structure.
Shields Helmets and Vest Plates
Armor shields ballistic helmets and vest plates cut from the thin end of the range.

Comparison
NP550 PRO500 Bulletproof Steel Plate Against the Alternatives
| Structural steel plate | Structural steel hardness may be only half of the 500-600HBW quoted here so target faces made from it deform and need replacing sooner. |
|---|---|
| Mild steel target plate | Mild steel targets crater and bend under repeated impact where a quenched and tempered face at 500-600HBW keeps its shape. |
| Lower hardness ballistic plate | Raising hardness improves ballistic performance at the same plate thickness and raises the price of the plate with it. |
| Plate delivered uncut | Uncut plate leaves the drilling and profiling with you, and hardened plate does not accept ordinary shop tooling. |
Use Guide
Specifying Handling and Welding Notes
- Send target and panel drawings with hole centers so profiling is complete before dispatch
- Angle target faces on their frames so impact energy is deflected rather than taken square
- Choose thickness and protection level together because performance at a thickness follows hardness
- Bolt panels into frames instead of welding across the working face where the design allows
- Plan on lower formability and weldability than structural plate of the same section
- Ask for the test report with the shipment so the material is recorded in the project file
Questions Buyers Ask
NP550 PRO500 Bulletproof Steel Plate FAQ
What hardness does NP550 PRO500 plate come in?
It is supplied at 500-600HBW. Structural steel may be only half of that hardness, which is why it is not a substitute for this duty.
Is this plate used for shooting targets?
Yes. Shooting targets are listed among the applications together with armor plate and armor car work.
What thickness can I order?
Plate runs from 2mm to 100mm and armor steel sheet from 2.3mm to 100mm, with size customized to your cutting list.
Can we drill the mounting holes in our own shop?
It is not recommended. As hardness rises the ability to fold weld and cut decreases, so all fixing holes and cutting to size are performed on our laser machine or a water jet.
What protection levels are covered?
FB4+, FB5, FB6, FB7, NIJ IIIA, NIJ III, NIJ IV, STANAG 4569 Level 1 and Level 2, and GA-3 to GA-6. Tell us the level in your tender and the thickness will be confirmed.
What strength figures are stated for the plate?
The plate is quoted with a yield strength of 1250 MPa and a tensile strength of 1600 MPa.
Does the order come with a test report?
Yes. A test report is issued for the NP550 PRO500 bulletproof steel plate supplied and travels with the shipment.
