Core Performance & Technical Data


Low-Temperature Impact Toughness
Performance: Charpy V-notch impact energy consistently exceeds 47 J at temperatures down to -40°C (Grade EH36/FH36), preventing brittle fracture in harsh oceanic conditions.
Process: TMCP combined with Nb-V-Ti fine-grain micro-alloying.

 

Weldability & Cold Crack Resistance
Performance: Carbon equivalent Ceq ≤0.38% (Pcm ≤0.22%).
Process: Low carbon composition enables high-heat-input welding without cold cracking, cutting pre-heating time and labor costs.

 

Dimensional Precision & Surface Quality
Performance: Thickness tolerance within ± 0.3 mm (exceeds EN 10029 Class B); flatness ≤3 mm/m.
Process: Automatic Gauge Control (AGC) and 11-roll heavy precision levelers ensure accurate fit-up during hull construction.

FAQ

 

Q: What is your Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?

A: Flexible. No MOQ for stock items (from 1 plate). For custom production, MOQ is typically3–5 tons per specification.

Q: Can you provide MTC before shipment or place an order?

A: Yes. Sample MTCs from previous heat batches are available upon request. Formal MTC (EN 10204 3.1/3.2) is issued with shipment.

Q: What are your accepted payment terms for overseas buyers?

A: We accept T/T (30% deposit + 70% balance against B/L copy) and 100% Irrevocable L/C at sight.

Q: Do you offer steel plate cutting and custom fabrication services?

A: Yes. We provide flame/plasma cutting, beveling, hole drilling, and custom sizing based on your engineering drawings.

Q: How do you handle potential quality claims after port arrival?

A: If any defect is confirmed by a joint third-party survey (e.g., SGS) within 30 days of arrival, we offer immediate replacement or refund.
