Armoured Steel
Armoured steel is a high-strength security steel with precisely optimized material properties for maximum resistance to penetration, impact, and stress.
Compared to conventional structural steel, it features a carefully balanced combination of hardness and toughness, achieved through alloy composition and controlled heat treatment.
In German-speaking regions, the term “Swedish steel” is also used, referencing the long-standing expertise of Scandinavian manufacturers in high-strength protective steels.
SSAB Security Steel
Our primary material is Security steel from SSAB.
This steel used in components for building protection, bunker and shelter systems, and other customized security solutions.
The focus is not limited exclusively to bunkers or panic rooms: SSAB security steel is also used in protective housings, safes, panic areas, in the automotive sector, aircraft construction, and in specialized components for companies and public institutions.
Thanks to its high material quality, the material can be used flexibly without reducing security standards.
We primarily use three widely applied SSAB steels:
Applications
Building protection: Facades, doors, window frames
Critical infrastructure: Energy facilities, data centers
Security architecture: Safes, protective enclosures
Vehicle construction: Armoured vehicles and structures
Our Armoured Steel Products
BSSD Defence GmbH works with various composite materials in combination with armoured steel. Several innovations have been developed to revolutionize the construction of secure buildings.
We continuously test new materials and combinations to achieve optimal protective performance for each application.
Why Use Armoured Steel?
