How much do you know about GL grade A steel material
GL grade A steel material is a kind of hot rolled general tensile strength steel. GL steels come 4 grades in ordinary-strength steel for shipbuilding and GL grade A steel is the lowest one of them. GL grade A steel material has yield strength of 34,100 psi (235 MPa), and ultimate tensile strength of 58,000 - 75,500 psi (400-520 MPa).
Chemical composition of GL grade A steel material:
Grade | C max | Si max | Mn | P max | S max | Als min | Cu max | Ni max |
GL grade A | 0.21 | 0.50 | ≥ 2.5C | 0.035 | 0.035 | - | 0.35 | 0.30 |
Mechanical properties of GL grade A steel material:

GL grade A steel material is certified by GL–Germanischer Lloyd. GL grade A steel material is almost exclusively used in the shipbuilding industry for the construction of structural parts of ships, barges and marine equipment. GL grade A steel material also can be used for ship repairing, the offshore oil drilling platform, the platform pipe joints and other components.
