High-Quality Ballistic Armor Plate – AR400, AR500 & NM500 Manufacturer

Ballistic armor plate is a high-strength specialty steel processed through specialized heat treatment, featuring extremely high surface hardness and excellent impact resistance. Specifically engineered for ballistic protection and high-wear applications, AR (Abrasion Resistant) armor plates provide superior penetration resistance against bullets and explosive fragments.

Qida Metal is a professional supplier of the full range of ballistic armor plates and wear-resistant steels, covering AR400, AR500, NM500 and other internationally recognized grades. Available in thicknesses from 3mm to 16mm, widths 500-2000mm, and lengths 1000-6000mm. Our products are widely used in military protection, security vehicles, armored cash-in-transit vehicles, mining machinery, and construction equipment.
