Description

These steel grades are generally supplied under the supervision of classification societies, in accordance with the appropriate regulations in each case. Plates can be supplied as rolled, shotblasted or shotblasted and painted.

Depending on the part of the ship where the steel is to be used, toughness values at different temperatures and/or through-thickness mechanical properties can be required. Weldability is often a key requirement.

Equivalent Materials

This material data has been provided by ArcelorMittal.

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
All metrics apply to room temperature unless otherwise stated. SI units used unless otherwise stated.
Equivalent standards are similar to one or more standards provided by the supplier. Some equivalent standards may be stricter whereas others may be outside the bounds of the original standard.
