Assuming the change in material doesn't change the labor. Realistically, each material would have one multiplier to material cost and a different multiplier to labor cost, and then that could be further modified by the exact construction method (some metals do fine for bars and plates, but are lousy for being draw into wire, for example).

Or maybe primitive reactive armor.
