Bisalloy Grades and their colours
Anyone ever been dumpsterdiving and found metal they think is bisalloy, but wish they knew the grade? Not sure if many people know this (seems lots don't) so I thought i'd make a post for this. Bisalloy grades have a colour on them which corresponds to their grade, I arranged it here to make it easy to work out. In fact I might just take this a bit further because i'm bored and it's good info I had to find out and many others will want to know I'm sure.
Grades in order of hardness:
Structural Grades:
Bis 60
Colour: White
Bis 70
Colour: Lime Green
Bis 80
Colour: Pink (this is the grade orbit and SM use for weapon disks, and it's only a structural grade!)
Bisalloy Wear Plate (the shiz)
Bis 320
Colour: Blue
Bis 400
Colour: Orange
Bis 450
Colour: Yellow (Tensile strength 1400MPa!!!)
Bis 500
Colour: Black (Tensile strength 1640MPa and a garanteed hardness of 477 to 534 HB!!!)
Bisalloy High Hardness Armour:
Colour: Black with red strip (similar hardness to bis500 however with properties better suited to balistic protection, use 6mm for mimimum protection against a magnum at 3m )
Hope this helps people in future determine what metals to use in their bots![/u] _________________ ( •_•)
