Scientists from the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) have devised an ultra-hard vehicle armour to protect military personnel. Details of the steel armour, called Super Bainite, were outlined during a seminar at the University of Cambridge.
The armour contains an array of holes which help deflect incoming projectiles and is composed of steel 'phase' known as bainite. This is produced through a new process which allows the alloy to be produced quickly and cost effectively.
