ABS AH36 DH36 EH36 FH36 Shipbuilding Steel Plate Marine Steel Plate Supplier

AH36, DH36, EH36, and FH36 grades of steel plates are considered high-strength structural steels. These grades share similar properties at their core but differ slightly due to their distinct operating environments. ABS Grade AH36/DH36/EH36/FH36 steel plates are used in manufacturing hull, maritime oil extraction drilling platform, platform tube junction and other structural components.

  • Strength: These plates offer high strength, permitting their use for large-sized ships and offshore structures.
  • Durability: These steels resist impacts and saltwater weathering exceptionally well.
  • Weldability: These steels are readily weldable and can be easily fabricated, facilitating straightforward construction.
  • Temperature Resistance: AH36 generally performs well; DH36 and EH36 perform better with reducing temperatures; FH36, however, performs excellently in very low temperatures.
  1. ABS AH36
  • It is a high-strength steel for hull construction.
  • Excellent welding qualities make it suitable for assembling larger components.
  • Withstands high stresses, more so during rough seas.
  • Yield Strength: 355 MPa and Tensile Strength: 490-620 MPa.
  1. ABS EH36
  • Enhanced toughness, especially under the effects of low temperatures.
  • For decks, bulkheads, and other primary structural parts.
  • Withstand an equivalent yield strength (355 MPa) with tensile strength (490-620 MPa).
  1. ABS DH36
  • Combines very high strength and excellent toughness with weldability.
  • Mainly used for ship plates and structural members.

4. ABS FH36:

  • Offers high strength and improved corrosion resistance
  • suitable for structural components in ships

FAQ

Q:What is the difference between ABS A/B and ABS AH36/DH36/EH36/FH36?

A:Ordinary-strength steel comes in a various number of grades, including A, B, D, E, and F. Each of these grades have different alloy chemical ingredients and a different fracture toughness.

Q:What is the yield point for ordinary-strength ABS steels?

A:All ordinary-strength steels of this type have a yield point at 34,000 psi (235 MPa), but there are two exceptions. First, type A with thicknesses greater than 1 inch have a yield point of 32,000 psi (225 MPa) and, second, cold flange rolled sections have a yield point of 30,000 psi (205 MPa).

Q:What is the ultimate tensile strength of ordinary-strength ABS steels?

A:All ordinary-strength steels of this type have an ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 – 71,000 psi (400 -490 MPa), but there are exceptions. The first exception is for type A shapes and bars with tensile strengths of 58,000 – 80,00 psi (400 – 550 MPa). Second are cold flanged sections with tensile strengths of 55,000 – 65,000 psi (380 – 450 MPa).
