GL E shipbuilding steel plate and sheet
The steel for shipbuilding and oil platform---E, is the common tensile strength steel.
GL E steel is the Hull structural steel,with it's good toughness properties, higher strength,strong corrosion-resistance,the processing properties,and welding properties.
GL E steel can be used in the manufacture of the ship's hull structure whose weight is below 10000 tons,and usually do navigation around coastal and river area.GL E 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.

Shipbuilding steel includes four grades,that is A,B,C,D. Grade A means impact test at 20°C; Grade B is impact test at 0°C; Grade C means impact test at -20°C; Grade D is impact test at -40°C. GL E is with excellent welding performance,so a variety of welding method can be used for welding .GL E has little alloy elements and grain refinement elements added, so its weldability is good.
