AR500 Steel

Type Carbon Steel
Modulus of Elasticity 30 x 10^6 psi
Poisson's Ratio 0.29
Density 0.29 lb/in^3
Ultimate Tensile Strength 225 ksi
Tensile Yield Strength 200 ksi
Brinell Hardness 450 HB
Rockwell Hardness C48
Elongation at Break 12%
Familiar Sellers McMaster Carr, MakeItRingTargets, Alro Steel, SendCutSend

Material Description:

  • High strength, ultra wear resistant steel used in body armor and shooting targets
  • Hardened steel is difficult to machine, is typically only used for Waterjet parts
  • Typically used for weapons due to it's high strength, toughness, and relatively high hardness
  • Anecdotal experience from builders says that AR500 typically bends before it fractures
