Home > FH 500 Shipbuilding steel plate

FH500 Shipbuilding Steel Plates are high-strength structural steel plates specially developed for use in demanding marine and offshore environments. The “FH” designation indicates high-strength steel with guaranteed impact toughness at –60 °C, making it suitable for vessels and structures operating in extremely cold and harsh conditions. FH500 offers an excellent combination of very high strength, toughness, and controlled weldability, allowing designers to reduce structural weight while maintaining safety and performance. These plates are manufactured in accordance with international classification society requirements and are widely accepted for critical shipbuilding and offshore engineering applications.

What is FH 500 Shipbuilding steel plate?

FH500 Shipbuilding Steel Plates are produced using a low-carbon, micro-alloyed chemical composition to achieve superior mechanical properties and low-temperature toughness. The steel typically contains carefully controlled amounts of carbon, manganese, silicon, and selected alloying elements such as nickel, chromium, and molybdenum to enhance strength and impact resistance. FH500 plates provide a minimum yield strength of approximately 500 MPa, with tensile strength generally ranging from 570 to 720 MPa. Excellent elongation and impact properties at sub-zero temperatures ensure reliability under heavy loads and dynamic stresses.
