The Application Of Steel In Shipbuilding
The steel plates for shipbuilding are mainly used for ship hull and cabin structure.
Due to the harsh working environment of the ships, the hull will be facing seawater corrosion, strong wind and wave impact. So it requires the steel to have high quality in tensile strength, corrosion resistance and hardness.
