Abstract
The paper is concerned with basic mechanical properties directly affecting ballistic resistance in relation to the ambient temperature changes. Possible decrease in the material ballistic resistance may eventually lead to the increase in logistic processes-related expenditures, e.g. when acquiring property and services upon combat damage to the military vehicle material. In the experiment, a critical ambient temperature was determined, at which degradation processes, considerably decreasing the ballistic resistance of the material tested, are highly probable to occur. The experiment was supplemented with a chemical analysis using EDS and transmission electron microscopy of selected specimens, where modifications in measured material characteristics were detected, which are influencing the live cycle of the material.
