EQ47 is a high - strength, thermo - mechanically controlled rolled structural steel, which makes it a top - tier choice for marine engineering. With a minimum specified yield strength of 67 ksi (about 462 MPa), it offers outstanding strength for shipbuilding and offshore structures.
One of the most remarkable features of EQ47 is its excellent impact toughness. In the marine environment, structures may be subject to impacts from waves, floating objects, or other vessels. EQ47's high impact toughness ensures that it can absorb and resist these impacts without significant damage. It also has good formability, allowing shipbuilders to shape it into various complex components required for ship construction.
The main function of EQ47 in marine engineering is to provide reliable structural support. Its advantages include its high resistance to deformation under heavy loads. Whether it's a ship navigating through rough seas or an offshore drilling platform facing strong winds and waves, EQ47 can maintain its structural stability.
EQ47 is typically used in shipbuilding and mobile offshore drilling units. In shipbuilding, it is used for critical components like the keel, which bears the main weight of the ship, and the hull framing. For mobile offshore drilling units, EQ47 is used in the construction of the platform deck and the legs. Its properties make it suitable for any marine project where high - strength, impact - resistant steel is needed to ensure the safety and functionality of the structure.
