    General Product Description

    ABS AQ/DQ/EQ 70 are American Bureau of Shipping grades of high-strength, quenched and tempered steel plates for structural applications requiring high yield strength combined with good formability and toughness. ABS AQ/DQ/EQ 70 grades have minimum yield strengths of 100 ksi [690 MPa, 70 kgf/mm2] and the different alphabetic indicators AQ, DQ, and EQ identifythe respective Charpy V-notch impact test temperature.

    Applications

    Typical applications for ABS AQ/DQ/EQ 70 grades include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structures.

            1) Minimum Average Reduction in Area when Z25 or Z35 Quality Specified.

            2) Minimum Individual Value Reduction of Area when Z25 or Z35 Quality Specified.

            Through-Thickness Tension Testing, “Z” Quality

            When “Z” quality steel is specified, through-thickness tension testing is performed in accordance with ABS Rules and ASTM A770. Two “Z” quality steels are available, Z25 and Z35. The through-thickness tension testing reduction of area requirements for each are tabulated in the table.

            Impact Properties

            Charpy V-notch impact testing is performed with longitudinal test specimens. Please inquire if transverse Charpy V- notch specimen testing is required.
