Heavy plates made of shipbuilding steels

Areas of application

The primary application is already in the name of shipbuilding steel: These steel grades are used for cabin structures on cruise ships. Particularly thin plates are used in large widths for such applications. These sheets exhibit best processing properties such as flatness and weldability. High-strength, thermomechanically rolled ship plates, on the other hand, are used in the offshore sector. They are used for deck superstructures on platforms or for special ships in the oil and gas industry.

Reliability and quality

We guarantee the highest safety and quality standards. We meet all the requirements of renowned classification societies:

  • DNV-GL
  • Registro Italiano Navale (RINA)

Our thermomechanically rolled steel grades and weather-resistant structural steels set benchmarks with respect to their best processing properties and consistently high quality. They are the key to efficient steel structures and provide potentially high savings in welding and maintenance. Industryspecific material and manufacturing expertise, comprehensive preprocessing possibilities, reliability and relationships based on trust make us a trusted partner to the European steel construction industry.

We supply higher strength & lighter weight

alform® heavy plates find their applications wherever high workability and weldability coupled with high strength and weight savings are in demand. Utilization of the higher yield strength of high-strength fine-grained steels as opposed to conventional structural steels results in lower cross-sections. This leads on the one hand to cost savings in lower component weights as well as reduced expenditures for transports, assembly, foundations, component manufacturing, especially in welding as a result of minimized seam cross-sections.

Elimination of paint coating and maintenance

The alloying of small amounts of phosphorus, copper, nickel, chromium or molybdenum leads to the formation of a protective layer on weather-resistant steel outdoors. This layer protects the steel from further corrosion. Weather-resistant structural steels thus provide cost advantages as no anti-corrosion coating or maintenance required of the protective coating is required.
