In one embodiment, two or more layers of aluminum alloys are metallurgically bonded and then wrought to produce an armor product having improved ballistics limits for resistance to armor piercing and fragment simulated projectile threats. In one embodiment, the armor product can include a composition that includes a continuous gradient of two or more aluminum alloy compositions. In one embodiment, the armor product can include layers of different aluminum alloys. In one embodiment, the armor product can include compositions of a mixture of more than one aluminum alloy. This armor may be useful on light armor vehicles having wheels, as well as planes and boats.
