Stamping Operation For Aluminum Armor

Monroe developed a stamping operation for aluminum armor. When contacted to support a key defensive system developed for the Stryker Combat Vehicle.

Connectors for the system were made from hot die forgings, a slow and costly process. At its own cost, Monroe experimented with making these connectors in a stamping operation with a machine to finish. It worked.

Monroe increased production rates 5 times while cutting costs more than 25%. This defensive system defeats RPG’s and prevents molten”spall” from hits injuring occupants.
