What steel is used for ships?

Shipbuilding steel plate refers to hot-rolled steel for the manufacture of ship structures produced in accordance with the requirements of the construction society. Often used as a special steel ordering, scheduling, sales, a ship including ship plates, steel and so on.

While there is a plethora of materials used in shipbuilding, steel remains the most widely used. And for good reason: Steel is strong enough to withstand the fatigue that a lifetime spent on the open seas will thrust upon it. In the shipbuilding industry, steel is categorized by four grades of toughness:

GRADE A STEEL

This mild steel is used for ship structures measuring less than 20 mm, such as bulkheads.

GRADE B STEEL

This slightly stronger steel is used for structures measuring 20 to 25 mm.

GRADE D STEEL

Grade D steel is strong enough to resist cracks and is used for structures that measure more than 25 mm thick.

GRADE E STEEL

This type of steel is heat treated for the ultimate strength and is used for structures measuring 50 mm or more, making it the ideal material for high-stress parts of the ship, such as the keel.

These shipbuilding steel can also be used for offshore structures, if you are looking for shipbuilding steel plate or offshore structure steel plate, Contact BBN steel now for the latest quotation.
