ABS Grade A, ABS A Shipbuilding Steel Plate

ABS Grade A steel is a kind of hot rolled general tensile strength steel. ABS steel come 4 grades in ordinary-strength steel for shipbuilding and grade A is the lowest one of them.

ABS Grade A steel plate chemical composition:

Grade	C max	Si max	Mn	P max	S max	Als min
AB/A	0.21	0.50	≥ 2.5C	0.035	0.035	-

CE: C+1/6Mn ≤ 0.40%
Cu ≤ 0.35%, Ni ≤ 0.30%

ABS Grade A Shipbuilding Steel Plate Mechanical Property:

Grade	Rm (MPa)	Re(MPa) min	A% min	Akv/J min
				E.T °C	Thickness (mm)
					≤ 50		> 50-70		> 70-100
					L	C	L	C	L	C
AB/A	400-520	235	22	20	-	-	34	24	41	27

ABS Grade A steel plate delivery condition:

Grade	category	The thickness of steel
		≤ 12	> 12.5-25	> 25-35	> 35-50	> 50-100
AB/A	Plate/sheet	A(-)				N(-),TM(-) CR(50) AR*(50)
AB/A	Profile steel					-

ABS Grade A Application:
ABS 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.
