I have to ask this question AND I also KNOW that it is going to be hilarious on the responses:
Question: Will the steel be tempered or be austenite?
Austenite has too high carbon footprint... Sending the ESG tanks instead. BAHAHAHA
...austenite tends to be a wee bit brittle probably not good for armor...
