Steel Sheet & Plate & Ship Steel Plate,A、B、D、E / CCSA、CCSB、AH32、DH32、EH32、AH40、DH40、EH40
1. Product Overview
Shipbuilding Steel Plate, also known as structural steel plate for ships and offshore engineering, is a special hot rolled medium & heavy plate developed for ship and offshore platforms. It adopts clean steel slabs refined by LF+VD vacuum refining, produced via TMCP thermo-mechanical controlled rolling & cooling process, with strict control of harmful impurities S & P. It features excellent low-temperature impact toughness, fatigue resistance, outstanding performance under alternating marine loads and superior weldability. All products can obtain certifications from five major classification societies: CCS, ABS, DNV, LR, BV. Widely used in core load-bearing hull structures of ocean cargo ships, container vessels, oil tankers, offshore platforms and icebreakers.
2. Core Product Advantages
Authorized Classification Society Certificates for Sailing SafetyAll grades approved by mainstream international classification societies, mill test certificate with surveyor stamp supplied for each batch, fully complying with global maritime ship classification rules for hull construction inspection.
Ultra-low Temperature Toughness, No Brittle Fracture in Cold Sea AreasGrain refinement & microalloying design; Grade E & FH maintain high impact energy at -40℃~-60℃, specially for icebreakers & northern ocean vessels to resist alternating wave impact stress.
Low Carbon Equivalent with Excellent WeldabilityCarbon equivalent ≤0.36, extremely low welding crack sensitivity. Suitable for automatic submerged arc welding & manual arc welding; no cracking during bending, rolling and cutting for complex hull segment processing.
Marine Fatigue & Salt Spray Corrosion ResistanceSmelted with low-impurity clean steel, resistant to seawater salt spray corrosion and periodic wave fatigue load, free of lamination & cracks under long-term marine service.
Complete NDT Grades for Zero Internal DefectsGrade Ⅰ / Ⅱ / Ⅲ ultrasonic testing available before delivery, free of interlayer, inclusion and internal cracks, meeting NDT requirements for critical load-bearing hull parts.
High Strength & Lightweight Design to Reduce Vessel WeightHigh-strength grades AH36/DH36/EH36 enable thinner hull thickness, lower dead weight, higher cargo capacity and less fuel consumption.
