VLE460 steel plate grade analysis: "VL" stands for the abbreviation of "DNVGL", which is the standard certified by the two classification societies of DNV (Norway) and GL (Germany). VL E460 hull steel characteristics: good welding and other properties. It is suitable for repairing ships and main structures of naval vessels. Naval steel is required to have higher strength, better toughness, blast resistance and resistance to deep water collapse.
Flat steel is a kind of steel with rectangular cross-section and blunt edges at the edges and corners. It is usually 12-300 mm wide and 3-60 mm thick. Compared with RD 32 VSL vessel steel sheets ordinary steel plate, the utilization rate of flat steel is increased by one to five percentage points. Moreover, flat steel can be produced with fixed thickness, width and length according to the user's requirements, which saves the cutting process for users, reduces the consumption of labor and materials, and also reduces the processing loss of raw materials, saving time, labor and material.
The strengthening mechanisms in metals mainly include solid solution strengthening, dislocation strengthening, fine grain strengthening, and second phase (precipitation and dispersion) strengthening. Alloying elements have the most significant strengthening effect on steel in the quenched and tempered state, because it makes full use of all four strengthening mechanisms. Martensite is formed during quenching, and carbides are precipitated during tempering, resulting in a strong second phase strengthening and greatly improving toughness. Therefore, obtaining martensite and tempering it is the most economical and effective comprehensive strengthening method for RD 32 VSL vessel steel sheets.
