High-Performance Steel Grades for Special Applications in Ships and Offshore Constructions

摘要

In ships and offshore constructions large amounts of different steel grades are used. Modern steel production techniques make high-performance steel grades available that perfectly fit to the needs of applications in ships and offshore constructions and their demands on the material.rnThe article gives an overview over two different kinds of these tailor-made steel grades: nickel steels for gas transportation with ships and high-strength steels for the use in ships and offshore wind energy plants. The suitable steel grades used for these applications are described regarding their properties, processing behaviour and production.
