MIL-A-11356F
ARMOR, STEEL, CAST, HOMOGENEOUS, COMBAT-VEHICLE TYPE (1/4 TO 8 INCHES, INCLUSIVE)
Year: 1987
Abstract: This specification covers two classes of homogeneous cast steel armor, combat-vehicle type vehicles in thicknesses from ¼ to 8 inches inclusive (see 6.1).
Class-1 cast steel armor is heat treated for maximum resistance to penetration and requires ballistic testing in accordance with Appendix A. No ballistic testing is required for thicknesses less than ⅝ inch.
Class-2 cast steel armor is heat treated for maximum resistance to shock. Class 2 is only applicable in the thickness range from ¼ to 1-¼ inches and does not require ballistic testing. Intended Use: The cast armor specified herein is intended for use on combat vehicles. The thickness of the casting is considered to be that which is most representative of the component's ballistic surface. Class 1 cast armor is intended for use in those areas where maximum toughness and maximum resistance to penetration by armor piercing type of ammunition is required. Class 2 cast armor is intended for use in those areas where maximum resistance to failure under conditions of high rates of shook loading is required and where resistance to penetration by armor piercing ammunition is of secondary importance. It is for protection against anti-tank land mines, hand grenades, bursting shell, and other blast-producing weapons.
