What are CCS AH32 and CCS A32 marine steel plates?

GNEE Steel specializes in supplying CCS high-strength steel plate in CCS Grade AH32.CCS AH32 and CCS A32 marine steel plates are specifically designed for the rigorous demands of the shipping industry. These high-grade steel plates possess exceptional chemical composition, mechanical properties, and heat treatment states, making them suitable for various critical marine applications.
In terms of chemical composition, CCS AH32 and CCS A32 steels are alloyed with carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, chromium, molybdenum, nickel, and copper. The precise balance of these elements ensures excellent corrosion resistance, weldability, and toughness. The chromium and molybdenum content particularly contributes to the steel’s high strength and durability.

The mechanical properties of these marine steel plates are noteworthy. CCS AH32 and CCS A32 steels exhibit high tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, allowing them to withstand extreme loads and deformation. These properties are crucial for withstanding the forces encountered in rough seas and varying weather conditions.

Impact testing

Impact testing is a crucial aspect of ensuring the reliability of CCS AH32/CCS A32 steel plates. These tests evaluate the steel’s ability to withstand sudden loads or impacts, simulating real-world conditions. The steel plates typically demonstrate excellent impact resistance, ensuring the safety and integrity of marine structures.

Application

CCS AH32 and CCS A32 steel plates find extensive use in various marine applications. They are commonly employed in the construction of hulls, decks, and bulkheads, as well as in the fabrication of cranes, winches, and other shipboard equipment. Their high strength and corrosion resistance make them suitable for use in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
