ABS Grades AH32, DH32, and EH32 Z25 are "Z" quality, higher-strength structural steels with a minimum specified yield strength of 46 ksi and specified minimum Charpy V-notch impact toughness properties. The Z25 quality steel has a minimum specified average value for reduction of area in through- thickness tensile testing of 25%.
ApplicationsTypical applications include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structural details for which greater resistance to lamellar tearing is desired.

Grade AH32Z25 | Plate | 0.1875 - 5.90 | 72 - 129.9 | 79 - 590 |
Grade DH32Z25 | Plate | 0.1875 - 5.90 | 72 - 129.9 | 79 - 590 |
Grade EH32Z25 | Plate | 0.1875 - 5.90 | 72 - 129.9 | 79 - 590 |
Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction. When "Z" quality steel is specified, through-thickness tension testing is performed in accordance with ABS Rules.
