Shipbuilding Steel Plate Properties & Advantages
High tensile strength
Our shipbuilding steel plates provide excellent strength and toughness, ensuring hulls and offshore structures withstand heavy loads and harsh marine conditions.
Excellent weldability
Designed for superior GMAW root pass of shipbuilding steel plates with different thicknesses, these plates allow precise and reliable welding for faster fabrication.
Corrosion resistance
Our ship plates maintain performance in seawater and marine environments, reducing maintenance and extending service life.
Dimensional stability
Plates offer precise flatness and dimensions, simplifying cutting, bending, and assembly while meeting strict engineering standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of steel is used in shipbuilding?
Ships are typically made from low-alloy, high-strength carbon steel, such as AH36, DH36, EH36, and Grade A steel. High-strength, thermomechanically rolled plates are used in offshore applications.
What is the difference between DH36 and EH36 steel?
DH36 offers slightly lower yield strength and better weldability, while EH36 is used for higher-strength applications and thicker hull plates.
What are the different types of steel plates?
Standard shipbuilding steel plate types include Grade A, B, D, E, AH32/36, DH32/36, EH32/36, FH36. Bulb flats and specialty alloy plates are also available.
What is the standard steel plate material?
Grade A shipbuilding steel plate is the standard marine steel. High-strength AH36, DH36, and EH36 are used for structural components and offshore constructions.
