Ship Building Steel Supplier
Ship building plays a pivotal societal role, whether or not people realize it. Maritime transportation is responsible for getting products and people across vast stretches of water, from one destination to another.
To make these hulking vessels, however, tons of steel are required. The ship building industry and its supply chain partners can get the metal alloys they require, whenever and wherever they need it, with support from Arbor Metals TM.
Set Sail With Arbor Metals TM
Undoubtedly, the integration of steel into ship building practices has revolutionized maritime capabilities. There are many steel grades available, and each one offers unique performance characteristics. As a result, ships can be built larger, last longer, and better withstand harsh environments in port and at sea.
Before steel, ships were primarily built from wood. Neither as durable nor as water-resistant, the material was much less suitable for the application.
It may appear that ships are constructed from the same steel type, but that’s not the case. Here are some common materials used in ship building.
- Carbon Steel With High Tensile Strength
- Galvanized Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
- Aluminum
- Specialty Steel Alloys
Primary uses of steel in ship making include:
- Rudders
- Frames
- Engine Parts
- Doors
- Propellers
- Shell Plating
