ABS Grade AH36, DH36, EH36 Z25
On this page
General Product Description
ABS Grades AH36, DH36, and EH36 Z25 are "Z" quality, higher-strength structural steels with a minimum specified yield strength of 51 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

Mechanical Properties
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.
