General Product Description
ABS Grades AH36, DH36, and EH36 Z35 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 Z35 quality steel has a minimum specified average value for reduction of area in through thickness tensile testing of 35%.
ApplicationsTypical applications include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structural details for which greater resistance to lamellar tearing is desired
