What is AR Metal for Steel Body Armor? #predatorarmor #bodyarmor #selfdefense #tacticalknowledge
This video explains that AR metal, specifically AR500, is a high-carbon alloy metal crucial for body armor due to its hardness and durability. The manufacturing process involves heat quenching to alter the metal's internal structure, making it hard yet less brittle. The speaker emphasizes that inconsistent hardness in AR500 can be acceptable for general uses but is critical for body armor, where specific hardness levels must be met for reliable performance.
