 Steels
• Several qualities of steels are used for shipbuilding.
• (i) different grades of mild steels,
• (ii) HSLA (high strength low alloy) steels,
• (iii) thermo mechanical control process (TMCP) steels,
• (iv) normalized rolling steels,
• (v) high strength steels (HSS),
• (vi) new anti-corrosion steel plates for crude oil tankers
• (vii) clad steel plates for chemical tankers,
• (viii) stainless steels.
 Steels
• The steels are to meet various shipbuilding
requirements,
• such as reduction in welding man-hours, shortening of
welding lines,
• elimination of cutting steps,
• stabilization of fabricated part quality and reduction in
control costs.
• attempt made in ship design to reduce the structural
weight of the ship so that it carrying capacity can be
increased.

 Ti heat exchanger tubes

Ti-Marine heat exchangers are replacing “old school” galvanized steel, cupro-nickel and
brass shell and tube heat exchangers used in refrigeration and engine room service. Ti
Marine units have all titanium tubes, tube sheets and shells and will outlast the vessel
itself.
