GL DH32TM

GL DH32TM shipbuilding steel plate and sheet

The steel for shipbuilding and oil platform---DH32TM, is the high tensile strength steel.
It is the Hull structural steel,with it's good toughness properties, higher strength,strong corrosion-resistance,the processing properties,and welding properties.This kind of steel can be used in the manufacture of the ocean ship's hull structure whose weight is above 10000 tons.

GL DH32TM Steel Application :
GL DH32TM is mainly used to manufacture the ship hull structure of ocean, coastal and inland sea areas , shipyards, oil platforms, pipelines in the ocean, coastal power plants, port facilities and other structural parts.

GL DH32TM Steel chemical composition by [%]:

Grade	C max	Si ax	Mn	P max	S max	Als min	Ti max	Cu max	Cr max	Ni max	Mo max
GL DH32TM	0.18	0.50	0.90-1.60	0.035	0.035	0.015	0.02	0.35	0.20	0.40	0.08

Note: Generally speaking CE will be ≤ 0.40%. If the delivery condition is TMPC, the CE will be : ≤ 0.36% (thickness ≤ 50mm),≤0.38%( when the thickness >50-100).
Ceq% =(C+Mn)/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/15.

		Profile steel	A(50)	N(50),CR(50),TM(50),AR*(25)				-

Note: 1. delivery condition: A =Any ; N=Normalized ; CR=Control Rolled ; TM=TMPC, Temperature - deformation control rolling; AR*= Can be hot rolled with the agreement of Classification Society ; CR*=Can be control rolled with the agreement of Classification Society .
2. The Figure in the ( ) means the sampling volume to do the impact test, the unit is Ton.(-) means without impact test.

GL DH32TM structural steel hull is a low-carbon steel with excellent welding performance. A variety of welding method can be used for welding . GL DH32TM shipbuilding plate has low alloy content, grain refinement elements like V, Ti, Nb, etc. Welding performance is superior. Preheating before welding is generally not proceeded, but it is done if it is at a low temperature or super thickness of structural components is welded, that is , it needs to take preheating measures. Because this steel contains a small amount of V, Ti, Nb and other elements of grain refinement, and in order to reduce the hardening tendency of cracks to prevent cold(ing) crack, the use of welding wire energy may be more.
