Shipbuilding steel plate BV Grade D is the Hull structural steel, marine steel. Grade D 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 D is the best equivalent steel grade with BV Grade D.
