For a ballistic steel shoothouse to be deemed safe, its walls<br />
must be made of through-hardened steel that has a Brinell<br />
hardness rating of at least 500. Period. In steel manufacturing<br />
terms, the plates must also provide sufficient strength, toughness,<br />
and stress resistance.<br />
There are many steel mills located around the world, but only<br />
a select few are able to produce steel that is hard enough and<br />
of sufficient quality to be safely used in a ballistic shoothouse.<br />
HARDOX / SSAB, Bethlehem-Lucas, and Oregon Steel Mills<br />
are major producers of such steel. Each of these companies<br />
may have minor proprietary differences in their production<br />
methods, but they all must make sheets of hard steel in<br />
essentially the same way. It’s like two different bakers making<br />
bread; they each may have their own little secrets, but the<br />
basic recipe, processes, and results are the same.<br />
A sheet of steel with a certified Brinell hardness rating of 500+<br />
from one of the above mills is fundamentally the same as a<br />
similar sheet of steel from any of the other mills. After<br />
production, the mill officially certifies that their steel meets<br />
strict guidelines for hardness and overall quality. Samples are<br />
pulled from each large sheet and tested to validate the process<br />
and confirm the results.<br />
