THE USE OF HSLA STEEL IN NAVAL CONSTRUCTION

HSLA steel is a generic term which conveys the message that such material is potentially weldable at ambient temperature. Such material has cost benefits which might initially be realised in the secondary (non hull) structure of submarines. Ultimately, with the necessary development of associated welding consumables and adaptation of processes, HSLA material could be used in the construction of all high strength Naval structures.
