provide the most innovative, cost-effective, quality welding
and cutting solutions is one that has guided our company for
more than 100 years, what, coupled with our technological
leadership and worldwide presence enables us to provide
competent and reliable solutions for our Customers.
Lincoln Electric offers solutions created especially
for shipbuilding. The vast majority of welded joints in
Shipbuilding is related to producing stiffened panels, and
welding them together. In the production of a panel, the
plates are predominantly submerged arc welded (tendency
for one-side welding); the stiffeners can be welded with
solid or cored wires, high recovery stick electrodes or
submerged arc. Once the panels have been produced,
welding is in all positions. Because of their high deposition
rate and ease of welding, rutile flux cored wires are
Head-quartered in Cleveland, OH, the Company has
a worldwide network of manufacturing plants, distributors
and sales offices covering more than 160 countries.
Recognized as the welding experts®, the Company provides
leading technology products and solutions in arc welding
consumables and equipment. Lincoln sustains the industry’s
most aggressive and comprehensive research and product
development program.
the preferred welding consumables for such applications.
The hull structure of ships generally consists of
carbon-manganese steel with a thickness of 8 – 50 mm.
Chemical tankers have (duplex) stainless steel cargo tanks,
for special applications other high alloyed or non-ferrous
materials are applied.  Our experience and knowledge has
enabled us to develop a wide range of welding consumables
(for all relevant welding processes) and the corresponding
welding equipment. Our philosophy is that we supply
products that enable our customers to efficiently build
a ship. Our equipment is rugged and reliable, transportable
and allows for increased distances between the equipment
and the actual place of welding (remote controls, special
light weight wire feeders that can operate at a large
distance from the power source). Lincoln equipment is
designed to meet EN60974-1 and CE standards for safety
and reliability. Our welding consumables are designed
to be welder friendly, as in our experience this improves
quality, productivity, and reduces repairs.

Iron hulls replaced wooden hulls in the second
half of the 18th century, to be followed up by
steel. Steel grades in regular seagoing ships
and inland barges are designed with regular
and HT ship steel grades ranging from grade
A up to grade EH 40 according ASTM A 131/A 131M,
“Standard Specification for Structural Steel
for Ships”.

Welding activities determine a substantial

part of the costs and production time.
This provides a continuous drive towards
the most efficient processes with high quality
welding consumables. The most currently
applied welding processes are SMAW, FCAW
and SAW. The selection as shown in this brochure
is the most successful set of products used
in many shipyards.

Special ships incorporate more complex

components or even a completely different
internal construction such as this is the case
with chemical carriers, using UNS S31653 (AISI
316LN) or S32205 (duplex stainless steel).
Further the use of the aluminium alloy
AlMg4,5Mn (5083) for the complete or partial
ship structure has to be mentioned.

6 MATERIALS TO BE WELDED IN THE REGULAR SHIPS

S SHIP
MATERIALS
TO BE WELDED
IN THE REGULAR SHIPS
Major Classification Societies as Det Norske Veritas,
Bureau Veritas, Lloyds Register, Germanischer Lloyd and
the American Bureau of Shipping, led to grading of mild
steels of between 0.16% to 0.23% Carbon content. Grades
A, CS, DS, B, D, and E are progressively tougher mild steels.
High strength steels have three grades, AH, DH and EH.
Each of these high tensile grades is available in three levels
of strength, 32, 36 and 40, the latter being the strongest.
Toughness and strength are determined at the steel mill
by means of process control and the addition on traces of
aluminium, niobium and/or vanadium.
Weldability is of preliminary importance; shipyards require: 
“no preheat and no complex procedures”.

This result in a restriction on steel types, high carbon steels

can’t be used to enhance strength because HAZ cracking
must be avoided. 

High tensile welding consumables are to be used for high

tensile steel, f.e. in submarines. Carbon equivalent (CE)
is used to indicate permissible levels of alloying elements
and carbon in steel for specific welding conditions.

CHEMICAL TANKERS
Chemical tankers are a composition in duplex stainless
steel. Duplex stainless steel is finding an increasing uptake
in the shipbuilding sector, mainly due to its higher strength
and corrosion resistance properties.
Duplex stainless steel UNS S32205 (Mat. Nr. 1.4462) also
has excellent weldability. Depending on the required
welding positions during construction, as well as the
various base material combinations, the selection of
welding processes and welding consumables have been

of stainless steel as opposed to austenitic AISI 316LN
grade (UNS S31653) that is often used for inland
navigation tankers.

Duplex stainless steel has a higher strength combined

with a favorable corrosion resistance (excellent stress and
pitting corrosion), two properties that have governed the
choice of this material as a way of increasing the number
of chemical products that can be loaded and transported
by these chemical tankers.

The corrosion resistance can be calculated and expressed

by the Pitting Resistance Equivalent (PRE), adjusted for
nitrogen containing stainless steel:

PREN = %Cr + 3.3*%Mo + 16*%N

NOZZLES
Nozzles are available as fixed-steerable and thruster
nozzles. Besides delivering improved efficiency and
increased thrust, the application of a nozzle can also
be to reduce noise and vibration levels.
This has led to the introduction of nozzles in almost all
types of ships, including tugs, workboats, hopper dredgers,
fishing boats, inland barges and supply boats.
Fig. 3D Picture of nozzle with base materials and welding joint preparation
The nozzles are constructed from shipbuilding quality steel
and stainless steel. Depending on the diameter of the
nozzle, the plate thickness of the outside wall and the
thickness of the plates used for the suspension, can
mount to approximately 60 mm. “Producing with high
quality against the lowest costs”, can only be realized
when the correct welding process is practiced with the
corresponding welding consumables.

Aluminium has been used in shipbuilding industry
as marine vessels, Yachts etc. for more than 100 years
because of its light weight and ease of fabrication.
Aluminium combines both good corrosion and fatigue
resistance. For the hull construction commonly
5086 (AlMg4Mn) and 5083 (AlMg4.5Mn) are used and
are easy to weld. Hull plating of 4.5 mm and above
easily accommodates MIG-Pulse welding. TIG welding
will be used for the more difficult detailed work such
as attachments.

 STRUCTURES FOR LOW TEMPERATURE
DESIGN APPLICATIONS
OFFSHORE - OR SIMILAR STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS
Offshore- or similar structural components have to be
able to withstand extremely adverse climatological
conditions. Compared to other constructions, enhanced
safety margins are required for welded joints, resulting
in additional selection criteria for type of welding process
and kind of filler material. Offshore constructions are built
with CMn- and low alloyed high strength structural steels.
Where possible, multirun submerged arc welding in plate
thicknesses from 12 to over 100 mm, is the most efficient
welding process. Offshore- or similar steel structures
in heavy plate thicknesses, applied in severely loaded
components at design temperatures down to -10° through
-40°C require the use of high quality consumables for
welding processes as SMAW, FCAW and SAW.

Common qualification aspects for such welding

consumables include:

Excellent welding characteristics with:

 s table, good controllable metal transfer with very
limited spattering;
 high deposit rates – efficiency;
 smooth wetting of base material avoiding stress
raisers due to undercutting or lack of penetration;
 sound weld metal (no porosity or other defects).

Very low hydrogen level in the weld deposits (IIW dec.

II-1155-9 or ISO/DIS 3690): HDM ≤ 5 ml/100 gram
 providing a high safety margin for crack free
weldments;
 easy consumable handling due to extra moisture
resistance (EMR), SaharaReadyPack or Sahara
Ready Bag.

High and reliable mechanical properties

 yield and tensile strength overmatching
the parent material;
 impact properties typically ISO-V > 47 Joules at the
required temperature in face and root area;
 fracture toughness properties above
current limits viz. CTOD > 0.25 mm

20 STRUCTURES FOR LOW TEMPERATURE DESIGN APPLICATIONS

CTOD PROPERTIES

The acceptable minimum impact test

temperature in procedure tests depends
on the alloying level of the used welding
consumable, base material, dilution,
welding process, etc.
In general, for -20°C and -30°C applications
unalloyed welding consumables can be used.
For applications down to -40°C, unalloyed
or low alloyed welding consumables with
low alloyed welding
consumables with 0.5 – 2.0% nickel can be recommended.
