Advantages of Bulb Flat
Bulb flats can save time and money in a number of ways for specific ship and barge building projects.
First, in terms of plate stiffening, bulb flats are a great solution for plate stiffening. Bulb flats offer a low paint area, eliminate the need for edge grinding prior to painting, and require fewer lugs compared to alternative plate stiffeners. Plate stiffeners are secondary plates or sections that are attached to beam webs or flanges to stiffen them against out-of-plane deformation.
Plate stiffeners also have a long service life in terms of corrosion and maintenance costs. The rounded shape of the material prevents corrosive buildup, preserves painted surfaces, and makes it easy to access, clean, and maintain.
The most important feature of this type of material is that when your structure is under extreme stress and begins to buckle, the shape of a bulb flat is highly resistant. This increases the longevity of your desired structure, whether it's a bridge, ship or barge. Ultimately, we want to make sure you can deliver a project on time and on budget.
BBN Steel is the industry leader in bulb flats for ship and barge construction projects. Bulb flats are hot-rolled sections of steel with a "stem" protruding from one end. Compared to other forms of steel, such as angle or flat bar, bulb flats have a higher strength-to-weight ratio and are excellent for stiffening in ship and barge building. Bulb flats are used in both shipbuilding and bridge construction.
GB T 5312 Carbon and carbon-manganese steel seamless steel tubes and pipes are mainly for ship use, also known as shipbuilding steel pipes. Under GB T 5312, there are mainly 5 steel grades: grade 320, 360, 410, 460 and 490. Each grade covers three levels: I, II, III.
Angle steel, commonly known as angle iron, is a long strip of steel whose sides are perpendicular to each other. There are equal angle steels and unequal angle steels. The two sides of equal angle steel are equal in width. The unequal angle steel is also known as L shape profile steel.
Flat bar steel can be produced according to the user's needs, with fixed thickness, width and length. It can reduce the cutting process for users, reduce the consumption of labor and materials, and also reduce the processing loss of raw materials.
