ABS Grade AH36, DH36, EH36 Z35

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%.
Applications
Typical applications include shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units and structural details for which greater resistance to lamellar tearing
is desired
