Frequently Asked Questions
Case-hardened steel :
We mainly make armour from cold-rolled metal plate which is usually worldwide used by armourers. Now we can improve its properties to almost spring steel quality by a special technology process. After this process we got material very close to spring steel and then it is possible to quench it.

We can reach about 45 HRC Rockwell (Rockwell is one of mostly used method how to find out the metal hardness level)

When we apply our new process the material will happend more firm, hard and springy. We have rented sophisticated device which is able to change and improve the cold-rolled metal plate properties.
The last important thing is that armour where is used this new method  is cheaper than armour made of spring steel.

Spring Steel :
The price of polishing is 10 - 30% from basic price. 10% for small, but expensive products and 30% for large, but cheap products.
Now is possible to order all items marked "shorter delivery time" from spring steel. The price for the material and hardening is increased about ...
1.0 millimeters thickness 60%
1.5 millimeters thickness 80%
Mirror Polish :
How material and thickness you use?
We standard use the cold-rolled metal plate 1.5 or 2.0 millimeter thick. Where we use 2.0 mm sheets the price is about 20% higher. If we use 2.0 mm for just a part of an armour, the price is increased appropriately. All prices on our website are for this standard material without hardening.
What are usual delivery times?
Typically 6 - 12 months with the exception of "shorter delivery time" marked items, where availability is about 2 - 6 months. Always ask us for exactly delivery times.
