For submarine hulls and surface vessels, ballistic protection is essential and steels with very high mechanical performance (high yield strength) and sufficient workability for cutting, forming and welding are needed.
Bozhong offers submarine hull plates, reinforcement members and ingots for forged parts.
Our steel solutions cover all the grades used for submarine construction around the world:
1.NQ1
2.HY80 HY100
3.HSLA 80
4.80 HLES
5.New 550 SSP grade (weldable without preheating)

Customer and project details are of course confidential.

Although certain details cannot be disclosed, general aspects of a number of case studies demonstrate our ability to meet the needs of our customers:

Customer need: Steel plate for the hull of a new submarine design.

Bozhong solution: 80 HLES high yield strength steel plate.

Results: After comparative testing with other materials, our 80 HLES grade high strength steel plate was selected as the best material for the hulls of this new submarine.
