AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention provides an armoring part for a vehicle that is thinner and lighter than conventional armoring parts, while still maintaining superior ballistic properties. The armoring part is made by combining a high-hardness and strength steel plate with a softer metal material coat, which helps in resisting attacks from both hard- and soft-core projectiles. The use of the coat allows for a reduction in the wall thickness of the steel plate, resulting in weight savings. The armoring part can be hot formed and press hardened, and may also be coated with a cathodic coat of dipping varnish. The combination of the armor steel and the coat provides better resistance to penetration and multiple attacks with projectiles.

Problems solved by technology

The armoring parts exhibit therefore a fairly great thickness, accompanied by high weight.

Abstract

An armoring part for a vehicle includes a steel plate made of at least partially hot formed and press hardened armor steel and having a hardness of 380 to 760 Vickers (HV). Applied on at least one side of the steel plate is a coat which is made of a metal material which is softer than a metal material of the armor steel. The coat is a thermally applied layer and has a hardness of 10 to 230 Vickers (HV).

Description

CROSS-REFERENCES TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the priority of German Patent Application, Ser. No. 10 2015 116 879.0, filed Oct. 5, 2015, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 119(a)-(d), the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety as if fully set forth herein.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to an armoring part for a vehicle.[0003]The following discussion of related art is provided to assist the reader in understanding the advantages of the invention, and is not to be construed as an admission that this related art is prior art to this invention.[0004]Vehicles with special protection are used to protect persons and valuables from bullets released from handguns and long guns (ballistic protection). Such vehicles are conceived to prevent penetration of bullets coming from all directions. For this purpose, armoring parts are installed in the vehicles, e.g. in side panels including body sills with A-, B-, C-, (D-) pil...
