DNV EH40 Shipbuilding Steel

Grade DNV EH40 marine steel, NV E40 material is a hull structural steel. DNV EH40 shipbuilding steel is mainly used for higher strength ships and ocean engineering structural steel. In the standard ASTM A131/A131M, offshore steel grade ASTM A131 EH40 is the best equivalent steel grade with DNV EH40. Shanghai Katalor can offer DNV EH40 shipbuilding steel, NVE40 marine steel with various sizes, shapes and large inventory. Our DNV EH40 shipbuilding Steel plates, sheets, bars, angle steel, bulb flats offered by Katalor Industry can be certificated by Det Norske Veritas (DNV).
