Abstract - ??? Advancing Maritime Excellence: The Danish Expertise in Steel Production

NLMK DanSteel, a trailblazer in steel manufacturing, is excited to present our contribution to the shipbuilding and offshore construction industries. The collaborative efforts of E. Goli-Oglu (PhD) and Z. Greisen (PhD) have led to developments in heavy steel plates, which are essential for shipbuilding and offshore projects.

In a dynamic market shaped by ever-evolving trends, our team has pioneered new horizons in chemical compositions and production technologies. We're proud to introduce heavy steel plates with thicknesses of up to 55 mm, crafted from low-carbon microalloyed D36 and D40 steel grades in normalized rolled delivery condition (+NR).

Shipbuilding's pivotal role in global tourism, passenger transportation, and international trade is undeniable. The transformation of cruise liners serves as a testament to the industry's dynamism, with vessel sizes and capabilities escalating exponentially over the years. From modest beginnings to today's monumental achievements, the maritime sector is pushing the boundaries of engineering and design.

Our commitment to quality and sustainability aligns seamlessly with the demands of the maritime industry. As ship designs evolve, so do the demands on heavy steel plates. We've met the challenge head-on by developing new chemical compositions and production techniques to meet these evolving requirements.

At NLMK DanSteel, we understand the importance of adhering to maritime standards. Our heavy plates conform to the stringent criteria set forth by renowned international classification societies such as DNV-GL, RINA, LR, RMRS, ABS, and BV. This commitment ensures the safety, reliability, and performance of our products in marine environments.

The heart of our innovation lies in our understanding of the intrinsic properties of steel. Our team has meticulously crafted steel variants that balance strength, toughness, and formability. Through meticulous research and testing, we've harnessed the potential of steel alloys to deliver heavy plates that exceed industry expectations.

Our dedication extends to the welding process, a critical aspect of maritime construction. We've conducted extensive trials with various welding techniques, ensuring optimal weldability, mechanical properties, and crack resistance. Our heavy plates not only excel individually but also contribute to the creation of robust welded joints.

NLMK DanSteel takes pride in our role as an industry leader, enabling the shipbuilding and offshore sectors to achieve new heights. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond steel production – it encompasses a holistic approach to sustainability, reliability, and collaboration. As the maritime industry continues to evolve, we're honored to be at the forefront of innovation, driving progress and forging new frontiers.
