Key Properties of Steel for Shipbuilding

Shipbuilding steel plate refers to the carbon and alloy steel plate used in offshore and marine contructions, common grades are A, B, D, E, AH32/36/40, DH32/36/40, and EH32/36/40 which ranged from different strength. The plates usually used to manufacture ship hulls, bulkheads, upper decks and hatch covers for tankers, bulk carriers, container ships and LNG carriers.

Key Properties of Steel for Shipbuilding

Plain carbon and mild steel are the most common grades of steel for shipbuilding, as they boast a raft of beneficial properties that make them uniquely suited for marine engineering. These include:

High yield strengths and typical tensile strengths on a range of 490 – 620 MPa

Easy joining and tight control of potential weld defects

Superior metallurgical properties to overcome brittle fracture/fatigue

Reasonable cost to ensure tangible ROIs
