ABS shipbuilding steels come many grades in ordinary-strength and higher-strength specifications. All of these steels have been engineered to be optimal long-lived shipbuilding steels.
ABS Grades A, B, D, E ordinary strength structural steel
ABS higher strength grades for shipbuilding:
ABS Grade AH32, DH32, EH32, and FH32
ABS Grades AH36, DH36, EH36, and FH36
ABS Grades AH40, DH40, EH40, and FH40

ABS A131 Grades AH36, DH36, EH36, and FH36 are defined as higher strength and these grades are certified by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS), so that they can be used in shipbuilding. The different grades are offered in various condition. Grade AH36 shipbuilding steel is offered in the control-rolled condition, DH36 in both the control-rolled and normalized condition, and EH36 in the normalized condition.
