High Tensile Steel Plates for Offshore & Shipbuilding
What Are Marine-Grade High Tensile Plates?
Marine-grade steel plates are high-strength, corrosion-resistant plates engineered for extreme marine conditions, salt spray exposure, and structural demands of both static offshore rigs and dynamic ship hulls.
Hindustan Steel Corporation supplies certified high tensile plates like ABS EH36, DNV DH36, API 2H Grade 50, and S355G10+N for critical use in shipbuilding, oil & gas offshore platforms, FPSO decks, and substructures.
From sea to shore, these plates are vital for:
They resist saline corrosion, tidal fatigue, and heavy structural loads in both surface and subsea environments.
Marine-grade plates must withstand high impact forces, low temperatures, and sea vibration stresses. Below are typical values:
| Grade | Yield Strength | Elongation | Impact Energy (Min) |
|---|---|---|---|
| EH36 | 355 MPa | 22% | > 40J @ -40°C |
| DH36 | 355 MPa | 22% | > 27J @ -20°C |
| API 2H Gr 50 | 345 MPa | 21% | > 42J @ -40°C |
| S355G10+N | 355 MPa | 20–22% | > 27J @ -20°C |
| A131 Grade A | 250 MPa | 24% | Notch tested @ 0°C |
| Element | Max Content (%) |
|---|---|
| Carbon (C) | 0.18 – 0.22 |
| Mn | 1.2 – 1.6 |
| S, P | <0.025 each |
| Si | 0.40 – 0.50 |
| Cu, Cr, Ni | Micro additions for corrosion resistance |
Low phosphorous and controlled carbon content ensure better resistance to corrosion fatigue and longer structural life at sea.
We supply marine plates that meet:
Plates are approved for naval, commercial, and offshore fabrication projects.
We supply plates in:
Heat treatment ensures improved notch toughness, better weldability, and stress-relieved performance in saline environments.
We also offer edge beveling, blasting + shop primer coating for shipyard-ready plates.
We serve:
| Application | Recommended Grade |
|---|---|
| Hull Structure | EH36 / DH36 |

EH36 is used in shipbuilding for hulls, decks, and marine structures exposed to extreme loads.
Yes, it is specifically developed for static offshore structures like jackets and topsides.
EH36 has higher impact toughness and is used in colder or more demanding marine conditions.
Yes, it’s EN 10225 approved for offshore steel structures and jackets.
They offer high resistance to saltwater, with options for epoxy primer and marine-grade coatings.
Yes. We stock and supply DNV EH36 and DH36 plates with full certification.
Yes, for basic hull structures. For stronger requirements, AH36 or EH36 is preferred.
Only above certain thicknesses (typically >30 mm) or for high-hardness grades.
We maintain stock and can supply cut sizes from 5 mm to 100 mm on short notice.
Yes. Shot-blasted and primer-coated plates are available on request.
We support small quantities for marine repairs and full bulk orders for shipyards.
Yes. We export marine steel plates to Colombo, Jebel Ali, Doha, Lagos, and more.
Yes. 100% ultrasonic testing is done for all marine grades.
Yes. Mill TCs, classification society approval, and TPI reports are shared digitally and in hard copy.
