  • Descrição: High hard armor steels are used on many tactical vehicles, such as the Stryker and the mine-resistant, ambush-protected vehicle. Although they provide good protection against armor-piercing threats, these steels corrode rapidly without the use of a good corrosion protective coating. Corrosion on military ground vehicles increases the infrared signal from the vehicle that the topcoat camouflage usually inhibits, making the vehicle more vulnerable to detection by the enemy. Stryker vehicles are prohibited from using hex-chrome and are currently coated without any pretreatment or conversion coating. The products demonstrated here will satisfy the hexavalent chrome prohibition while minimizing environmental impact and worker safety. This demonstration plan is designed to generate the data necessary for authorization and implementation decisions by appropriate authorities within the U.S. Department of Defense.
