Alloy Chestplate
Alloy Chestplate is an Industrial Craft 2 chest armor piece with 9 armor points (protection value) and 800 durability, exceeding a diamond chestplate.
Description
Producing the six Advanced Alloy takes the real effort: Advanced Alloy comes from compressing a Mixed Metal Ingot in a Compressor at 625 EU per operation, and each Mixed Metal Ingot is crafted from iron, bronze and tin plates. Alloy Chestplate is not stackable, so one item fills one inventory slot. The recipe lists no diamonds at all, so a running Industrial Craft 2 workshop crafts torso armor that beats the diamond chestplate without mining a single gem.

Guide
How to craft the Alloy Chestplate in Industrial Craft 2
-
1
Produce six Advanced Alloy
Compress Mixed Metal Ingots in a Compressor — one operation costs 625 EU. Mixed Metal Ingots are crafted from iron, bronze and tin plates.
-
2
Set aside an Iron Chestplate
The recipe consumes one Iron Chestplate — craft a new one or use one from storage.
-
3
Set aside a Leather Tunic
The second middle-column slot needs one Leather Tunic, the leather torso armor of vanilla Minecraft.
-
4
Fill the crafting grid
Place the six Advanced Alloy in the left and right columns of a 3×3 crafting table grid, then put the Iron Chestplate and the Leather Tunic into the middle column in either order.
-
5
Collect the Alloy Chestplate
Take one Alloy Chestplate from the output slot; both mirrored middle-column layouts produce the same item.
Alloy Chestplate gives 9 armor points and 800 durability, while a diamond chestplate gives 8 and 528 — compare the numbers before spending diamonds on torso armor.
