ASTM A131 grade B hull steel is common strength shipbuilding steel, and it is mainly used for making the hull of ship building and ship repairing, the platform pipe joints and other components.
For ASTM A131 grade B Marine Steel Plates rolling, As rolled and Control Rolled is ok for A131 grade B Shipbuilding Steel Plate with the thickness equal and belows 40 millimeters. For thickness above 40mm plate, the heat treatment shall be Normalised or TMCP, those two technical treatment would improve A131 grade B hull steel strength in yield and tensile points.
