The Vietnam War M48 Patton medium gun tank and M551 Sheridan tanks (turret only) were of one piece cast & welded steel; not riveted. The Sheridan's hull was all aluminum, as it was the only US tank (officially designated the armored airborne reconnaissance assault vehicle) that could swim.
Body armor is made of Kevlar.
Wood.
Panzer=Armor=tanks. Automobile makers generally produce tanks.

1 1/2 inch heat-treated steel alloys. Most of them could stop .50 cal armor piercing rounds, and some tanks had sloped armour/armor, which could stop heavier shells by deflecting them.
The 21st century requires Rapid Deployment capabilities. Tanks are heavy, take up alot of room aboard air transports. Quick reacting armor is what the military is moving towards today.
it could be made of steel (rolled, forged) in tanks, Aluminium in cars, iron in early European weapons, and it could be plastic and glass.
In WW 1, the armor on tanks was not THAT thick, and a heavy machine gun with armor piercing ammuntion COULD disable a tank. They were NOT invulnerable.
Tanks tend to be one of the more efficient tools in the military's arsenal because of their ability to be used in multiple situations. For example, if a squad comes under fire, the tank may be used as cover, since the thickness of the armor allows the tank operators to be safe, as well as the squad following behind them. The weaponry on tanks tend to be the top of the line, as well.
During WWII, US tanks burned gasoline for fuel; during the Vietnam War US Patton and Sheridan tanks used diesel for fuel.
all types of metel like steel ,alumanem titanium ,and ioron
When you put the armor at an angle, the thickness is increased due to the fact that it is sloped as opposed to plumb.
