Short answer: Shipbuilders use AH36 and EH36 steel plate for hull and deck, aluminum for superstructures to save weight, copper-nickel and stainless for seawater piping and forged alloy for shafts, with low-temperature toughness, weldability and corrosion plan decided up front.
At a Glance
Hull and Structure
Hull plate is normalized or TMCP steel with notch toughness at low temperature, graded like the structural basis in our Bridges and Infrastructure Guide; the strength data is in our 강도 비교 and fatigue in our Fatigue and Endurance Limit guide.
Seawater Systems
Sea chests, pipes and condensers use copper-nickel and stainless to resist biofouling and chloride; the alloy view is in our Copper Grades Guide, the marine plan in our Marine and Offshore Guide and tube choice in our Pipe vs Tube Guide.
Lightweighting
Aluminum superstructures cut top-weight for stability; the alloy is in our Aluminum Supplier 그리고 Aluminum Extrusion Profiles Guide, and the weight goal shares the Aerospace Guide logic.
Corrosion and QA
Coatings, cathodic protection and inspection keep a hull sound; the plan is in our Corrosion Protection Guide 그리고 Corrosion Resistance Guide, with checks in our Quality Inspection Guide.
