Shipbuilding steel plate BV Grade A is the Hull structural steel, marine steel. Grade A marine steel plate has good toughness properties, higher strength, strong corrosion-resistance, the processing properties, and welding properties. In the steel standard ASTM A131/A131M, offshore steel grade ASTM A131 A is the best equivalent steel grade with BV Grade A.
