What is LR Grade A shipbuilding Steel Plate?

LR grade A steel is a kind of hot rolled general tensile strength steel, and the like LR Grade B, LR Grade D and LR Grade E. LR steels come 4 grades in ordinary-strength steel for shipbuilding and grade A is the lowest one of them. The LR A grade steel plates have yield strength of 34,100 psi (235 MPa), and ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 – 75,500 psi (400-520 MPa). All the LR/A shipbuilding Steel offered by GNEE steel can be certificated by Lloyd’s Register of Shipping (LR).

Grade A steel is the impact force subjected to 20 ° C
Grade B steel impact force at  0 ° C
Grade D steel impact force at -20 ° C
Grade E steel impact force at -40 ° C

LR Grade A Shipbuilding Steel Application:

LR A grades of steel plate are almost exclusively used in the Shipbuilding Industry for the construction of structural parts of ships, barges and marine equipment. LR A Shipbuilding steel plates also can be used for ship repairing, the offshore oil drilling platform, the platform pipe joints and other components.
