Our ABS Grades AQ43, DQ43, EQ43 are high-strength, Thermo-mechanically controlled rolled structural steels having a minimum specified yield strength of 61 ksi and specified minimum Charpy V-notch impact toughness properties.
ApplicationsTypical applications include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structures.
Grade EQ43 Z25 & EQ43 Z35 are available in the same dimensions as Grade EQ43.
Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction.
1) See ABS Rules for elongation requirements for alternative tensile specimens.
1) Specimen orientation at the option of the manufacturer unless otherwise specified in the order.
No more than one value below the specified miniminum average energy but no less than 70% of the specfied minimum average energy value.
Minimum average energy for full-size specimens. Refer to ABS Rules for sub-size specimen energy requirements.
