AH36, DH36, EH36 shipbuilding steel grade comparison

Shipbuiding Standards from Different Countries

Shipbuilding steel plates are produced under the approval of production methods of classification societies in different countries refers to offshore and marine steels.

ABS (American Bureau of Shipping)

BV (Bureau Veritas)

CCS(China Classification Society)

DNV(Det Norske Veritas)

GL (Germanischer Lloyd)

HR (Hellenic Register of Shipping)

KR (Korean Register of Shipping)

LR(Lloyd's Register of Shipping)

NK (Nippon Kaiji Kyokai)

RINA (Registro Italiano Navale)

RS (India Register of Shipping)

Grades: A, B, D, E, AH32/36/40, DH32/36/40, EH32/36/40

According to its yield strength, shipbuilding plate of can be divided into below grades:

Grade A steel is the impact force subjected to normal temperature (20°C).

Grade B steel impact force at 0°C.

Grade D steel impact force at -20°C.

Grade E steel impact force at -40°C.

High-strength shipbuilding steel plate can be further divided into: AH32, DH32, EH32; AH36, DH36, EH36 and AH40, DH40, EH40.

1. The general grades A, B, D, and E are distinguished according to the impact temperature of the steel. The impact values of all grades of steel are the same.

2. High-intensity hull structure steel preheating requirements: For all AH, DH, EH plate thickness greater than 30mm angle, butt joints, shall be preheating to 120 ~ 150°C before welding.

3. For thickness of the plate ≤ 30mm, the ambient temperature is below 5°C, preheated to 75°C; Ambient temperature below 0°C, preheated to 75 ~ 100°C.
