The most widely used protection plate worldwide. Balances ballistic performance with the weldability and formability a fabricator needs to build complete armoured structures.

High hardness protection plate delivering the same protection level at reduced weight, or a higher threat level at the same weight, compared with 500 HBW armour.

The default seawater alloy. 90% copper with 10% nickel and a controlled iron addition builds a protective cuprous oxide film in seawater, and the inherent copper toxicity stops macrofouling — barnacles and mussels do not settle, so cooling lines stay clean without chlorination. Specified for ship and platform seawater systems, firewater ring mains and condenser tubing where the velocity stays below about 3.5 m/s.

The higher-duty cupro nickel. Tripling the nickel to 30% raises strength, erosion-corrosion resistance and the allowable seawater velocity to around 4.5 m/s, and lifts the service temperature well above 90/10. It is the grade for pump and valve-adjacent piping, hot brine and MSF desalination heat recovery, and any line where turbulence or sand loading would strip the film off 90/10.

The highest yield strength structural plate in commercial supply, used where every kilogram of structural weight carries a payload penalty.
