Armor Plate Tests Show Nickel Steel Wins Over All Steel
At Indian Head Maryland on November 14 1891 a second series of armor plate tests compared Carnegie Phipps Bethlehem iron Co plates. High carbon nickel steel Harveyized plates showed best resistance against eight inch projectiles while all steel plates failed earlier. Bethlehem nickel steel also performed well though some crack propagation occurred.

Armor test results show varied penetration depths on steel plates
Tests on high and low carbon nickel steel plates reveal inconsistent penetration by 6 inch and 8 inch projectiles, suggesting tempering defects or shell flaws. Projectiles from Holtzer France and Carpenter Steel varied in velocity and depth, with several shots penetrating to depths around 12 inches and rebounding or fracturing, indicating progress in U S armor making despite irregular performance.
