What are the most common grades of offshore engineering steel used in the industry?

TAGS: offshore | steel | engineering |

One of the most commonly used grades of offshore engineering steel is API 2H Grade 50. This grade is specifically designed for use in the construction of offshore structures and has a yield strength of 50,000 psi. It is particularly suited for use in deepwater environments where it must withstand high stresses and corrosive conditions. Other common grades of offshore engineering steel include API 2W Grade 50, which has even higher strength and toughness properties, and ASTM A131 Grade EH36, which is used in the construction of ships and other marine vessels.
