ABS GRADE A BULB FLAT FOR SHIPBUILDING

Bulb flats are a hot-rolled piece of steel with one end having a “stem” sticking out. Compared to other forms of steel, such as angle or flat bar, bulb flat is stronger in terms of strength to weight ratio and are excellent for stiffeners for ship and barge building. Bulb Flats are used in the Ship Building Industries, as well as with bridge construction.

Benifits of Bulb Flat:

Bulb flats will save time and costs for your specific ship and barge building project in various ways. Firstly, in terms of plate stiffening, bulb flat bars are a great solution for plate stiffening. Bulb flats provide a low paint area, with no need for edge grinding prior to painting and require fewer lugs compared with alternative plate stiffeners. Plate stiffeners are secondary plates or sections which are attached to beam webs or flanges to stiffen them against out of plane deformations. Also, bulb flats have a long-life span in terms of corrosion buildup and maintenance costs. The rounded shape of the material prevents corrosive buildup and maintains painted surfaces and makes it easy to access, clean and maintain. The most important feature of this type of material is that when your structure is under extreme stress and starts to buckle, the shape of a bulb flat is highly resistant, increasing the longevity of your desired structure, whether it’s for bridges, ships or barges. Ultimately, we want to make sure that you can deliver on a project on time and on budget.

As part of our development strategy, we have always been focused on the complete production process model. We believe this will bring us synergy effects. Therefore, recently, a new product, namely welding consumables, has been added to our catalogue. It will cover all series such as gas shielded solid welding wires, flux-cored welding wires, submerged arc wires, argon arc wires, etc., as well as medium and heavy plate series (thickness 6-800mm). Width: 1500mm-3650mm, maximum single weight: 60t

Our LT welding wire has two main advantages:
A fully integrated production process, that is, supported by the world-class upstream steel manufacturing facilities of the same group company.
The newly developed production process, which adopts the latest technologies and know-how, namely fully automatic production, will ensure quality control.
Our advantages of medium and heavy plates:
Complete electric furnaces and off-furnace refining equipment
The rated capacity of the ultra-high power electric furnace is 115 tons, and the maximum steel output per furnace is 130 tons
It has two 115-ton LF refining furnaces and one double-station VD furnace
The largest-sized steel ingots and continuous casting billets
The largest flat steel ingot is 60 tons, and the largest plum blossom steel ingot is 270 tons
The maximum single weight of the ingot steel plate: 60 tons (forged and rolled combined process)
Continuous casting adopts the techniques of dynamic light pressing, dynamic secondary cooling and heavy pressing
The maximum cross-sectional specification of the continuous casting billet is 460*2600*3600mm
Complete rolling line equipment
Advanced split vertical rolling mill
