ABS Steels are types of structural steel which are standardized by the American Bureau of Shipping for use in shipbuilding. [1] ABS steels include many grades in ordinary-strength and two levels of higher-strength specifications. All of these steels have been engineered to be optimal long-lived shipbuilding steels.

Metals USA is an ABS-certified steel distributor with a complete selection of ABS steel, including a full line of ABS Grade A, B, or C steel. Held to stringent material requirements, American Bureau of Shipping steel is designated as a hot rolled common strength shipbuilding grade and is available in rolled or plate formats.

ABS Grades A, B, D, and E are ordinary-strength structural steels with a minimum specified yield strength of 34 ksi and specified minimum Charpy V-notch impact toughness properties. Typical applications include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structures.

Our ABS grades are used in the Ship Building (Marine) and mobile offshore drilling units and structures. Many of our SSAB facilities carry and maintain ABS certifications to supply ordinary-strength to high-strength steels with improved toughness and Reduction of Area.

ABS steel plate is standardized and highly regulated to meet necessary specifications for use in maritime applications. With great strength and toughness, ABS plate grades can also endure strong forces from waves and wind without breaking or failing.

Here are the key differences between A36 and ABS Grade A: Standards and Organizations: A36: A36 steel is a standard carbon structural steel grade established by ASTM International (ASTM A36/A36M). ABS Grade A: ABS Grade A is a marine-grade steel grade regulated by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) for use in shipbuilding. Chemical Composition:

ABS Steels are types of structural steel which are standardized by the American Bureau of Shipping for use in shipbuilding. ABS steels come many grades in ordinary-strength and two levels of higher-strength specifications.

ABS steels include many grades in ordinary-strength and two levels of higher-strength specifications. All of these steels have been engineered to be optimal long-lived shipbuilding steels. ABS does permit the use of other steels in shipbuilding, but discourages it, and requires more detailed engineering analysis.

ABS Grades A, B, D, and E Z35 are "Z" quality, ordinary-strength structural steels with a minimum specified yield strength of 34 ksi and specified minimum Charpy V-notch impact toughness properties. The Z35 quality steel has a minimum specified average value for reduction of area in through-thickness tensile testing of 35%. Applications
