Abstract
Ballistic armor is fabricated by spraying atomized particles of molten ballistic armor metal alloy onto a collector utilizing a pressurized inert gas which impacts upon a controlled feed of the molten armor metal alloy. Dual hardness armor plate and parts are produced by spraying a second layer of a different armor metal alloy onto the first layer either before the first layer has completely solidified or while a semi-liquid surface exists on the first layer.
