LR Grade A is a ordinary-strength marine structural steel certified by Lloyd’s Register (LR). Within the international shipbuilding industry, the rules and regulations of major classification societies (such as CCS, ABS, DNV, BV, NK, etc.) are mutually recognized and aligned.
LR Grade A is a ordinary-strength marine structural steel certified by Lloyd’s Register (LR) and classified as an economical steel for use at ambient temperatures. This steel grade offers good weldability and cold-forming properties, and is less expensive than LR Grades B, D, and E; however, it lacks sufficient low-temperature toughness and is restricted to non-critical hull sections where there is no risk of low temperatures. It must be accompanied by an LR certification certificate upon shipment before it can be used on board a vessel.
We offer custom LR Grade A shipbuilding steel plate solutions in a full range of specifications and sizes, covering a complete range of dimensions to meet the diverse processing, manufacturing, and maintenance needs of commercial shipbuilding and general offshore engineering projects.
