Bulletproof technology ideas - special steel plates

Tests to see what is the best steel to stop certain bullets
Medium hard steel
Hard steel
Extra hard steel

 With medium hard steel a hole might be shot/punched in but there might be no breaking and or shattering. On the other hand hard and extra hard steel are harder but have more brittleness.


Steel plate layers
For example extra hard then hard then medium hard then hard again
 The extra hard layer on the strike part of the plate
Update:
Two times extra hard, one hard layer and one extra hard layer.


Extra hard steel plate:
 Heated to around 1075 degrees celcius and then put in a special type of oil or water
 Heated to 175 - 350 degrees celcius for around two hours (baking)
Better rubber around the plate. flight deck ship rubber like material.
Other existing tempering processes:
 Freeze tempering, cryogenic hardening. cooling the steel ballistic plate to around -185 degrees celcius. Mainly with liquid nitrogen.
 Induction tempering.
Update: High carbon steel

Layered steel
With the best and effective tempering methods
