The steel plate is a flat steel material that is poured with molten steel and pressed after cooling. Steel plates are divided into three types: thin, medium and thick according to thickness. Steel plates are mainly used in buildings, bridges, ships, vehicles, boilers, high-pressure vessels, oil and gas pipelines, and large steel structures. Why are steel plates often used? It is because the steel plate has high strength, good toughness, corrosion resistance, and good welding and cold forming properties.
The annual output of steel plates is also very high. Structural steel for hull is divided into strength grades according to its minimum yield point: general strength structural steel and high strength structural steel. Shipbuilding steel generally refers to steel for hull structure, which refers to the steel used to manufacture hull structures produced in accordance with the requirements of the classification society's construction regulations. It is often used as a special steel for ordering, production scheduling and sales. A ship includes ship plates, section steel, etc.
