Ship Plate
The ship plate is a hot rolled steel sheet produced to manufacture hull structures as required by the code of conduct. In the 1870s carbon was added to molten iron to make steel. Iron and steel were soon being used in ship production. These irons and steels were known as ABS (American Bureau of Shipping) iron and steel. They constitute specific types of iron and steel utilized to build ships. How they are manufactured and used is regulated by the ABS standardized grading and specification system.
