Question 28

is the primary material used in shipbuilding due to its excellent properties, including high strength, toughness, durability, and weldability. The types of steel used in shipbuilding are selected based on the specific requirements of different parts of the ship, such as the hull, deck, superstructure, and machinery spaces

Answer 28

Steel

Question 29

A stands for Standard Structural Grade (36 minimum yield strength of steel) Application: This grade is used in general structural applications where high toughness is not a primary requirement. It is typically used above the waterline, where the material is less exposed to harsh conditions.

Answer 29

A36

Question 30

AH stands for High-Strength Steel with a certain level of toughness. Application: The "A" prefix indicates that it is suitable for use in shipbuilding, and the "H" stands for High strength. AH grade steel is used in parts of the ship that are exposed to low temperatures or higher stress, like the hull, where higher strength and toughness are required.

Answer 30

AH36

Question 31

DH stands for Higher Strength Steel with enhanced toughness at lower temperatures. Application: The "D" represents that the steel has better toughness properties than AH grade and is suitable for use in harsher, colder environments, including below the waterline. DH steel is often used in the ship's hull and other critical areas.

Answer 31

DH36

Question 32

EH stands for Extra High Strength Steel with the highest level of toughness. Application: The "E" prefix indicates that the steel is suitable for even more demanding applications, especially in very cold or harsh environments. EH steel is used in critical structural parts of the ship that experience high stress and exposure to low temperatures, such as in icebreakers or vessels operating in Arctic conditions.

Answer 32

EH36
