What is the best steel plate for boats?

When selecting a steel plate for boats, several factors should be considered, including strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, and cost. Here are some commonly used steel plates for boat building:

ABS Grade A/B: ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) grades A and B are widely used in the construction of ships and offshore structures. These plates offer good strength and are typically supplied with improved corrosion resistance.

AH36/DH36/EH36: These high-strength structural steel plates are commonly used in shipbuilding. They have excellent mechanical properties and good weldability, making them suitable for the construction of various vessel types.

Lloyds Grade A/B: Lloyds Register of Shipping specifies certain grades of steel plates for shipbuilding purposes. Lloyds Grade A and B plates are known for their high tensile strength and good toughness properties.

DNV Grade A/B/D/E: DNV (Det Norske Veritas) is a classification society that provides standards for the maritime industry. Their Grade A/B/D/E plates are commonly used in shipbuilding due to their high tensile strength and excellent ductility.

ASTM A131: The ASTM A131 specification covers various grades of ordinary strength and higher strength structural steel plates for shipbuilding. These plates offer good weldability and formability, and the different grades provide options based on specific requirements.

It's important to consult the relevant classification societies, regulations, and project specifications to determine the appropriate steel plate for a particular boat-building application. Additionally, considerations such as the operating environment, intended use of the boat, and budget also play a role in the selection process.
