Hi! This is Olghi here, I am a regular browser of the site, but have never attempted actually creating a set of armor. I was perusing the site today and something I saw on "Will it Blend" came to me...
Ultra Lightweight Boron Steel used in new cars could theoretically be used to create a suit of armor. It is very lightweight, and pound for pound has around the same strength as Iron. I have roughly priced amount of steel I would need, and the cost is around $2500-$4000, and would weigh about 80 lbs.
My question to you is: Should I go through with this endeavor?
If I were to successfully create a wearable metal suit, it would no doubt be not only the coolest quit of armor out there, it could possibly have practical applications. With all of this in mind, please give me some advice.
Thanks,
