in particular I've struggled to find anything at all on the materials science and engineering side of it, beyond some very high level descriptions of hardplate construction that barely went beyond what I could already discern from marketing copy.
for example I know that some vendors construct their hardplate additively using alternating weld beads made of different materials, which is extremely difficult to drill through because of the differential tool pressure generated at the tip of the bit.

In response to this postbut that's a really high-level description that doesn't go into the details of material choice, metallurgy, testing, etc. which is the really interesting part.
that said, I'm not just interested in the materials science. info on construction techniques, evolution of various attacks and defenses, relocker designs (particularly glass ones, they're cool!), etc. would all be great to read. it's such a fascinating subject area.
apparently there's a whole series of magazines published for the US safecracking industry but like... ugh, I don't want to go find an archive of that and dig through endless marketing and industry news just to find a few small nuggests of interesting information.

In response to this post@gsuberland Oxygen-rich cutting torch would be my first thought.
