Need a source of 500 Brinell steel plate

[Perry Owens]

Anyone know of a supplier of AR500 type steel plate? I need 300mm discs and squares, 10mm thick, for making reactive rifle targets. I have tried EN8 but it eventually craters, creating a potentially dangerous ricochet situation.

Sorry I dont know but you are aware that this type of steel goes under quite a few different names. Hardox is a common one.

Could you hardsurface some mild steel?

No, I was not aware of that. Since you pointed that out I have found this supplier on the Web: http://www.hardox-wearplate.co.uk/index.htm
They have an online shop that appears to sell offcuts.

I guess Armox would be the obvious choice for this job.....not sure how it compares to hardox or wearox.
Only ever used it when its been free ossued, so can't help with suppliers on afraid.
