In the heart of Muscat’s industrial landscape, Faisal Steel has built a reputation as a trusted manufacturer and supplier, specializing in marine-grade materials. We take particular pride in our ABS AH36 Shipbuilding Steel Sheet and Plates, products engineered to meet the exacting standards of the global maritime industry. Supplying from our base in Oman, we provide shipbuilders and fabricators with the robust, reliable foundation required for constructing vessels that confidently navigate the world’s most challenging waters, ensuring both structural integrity and long-term performance.
Our ABS AH36 steel is defined by a carefully balanced chemical composition, including key elements like carbon, manganese, and micro-alloys, which work in concert to provide exceptional strength. This translates into impressive mechanical properties, most notably a high yield strength of 36 ksi minimum, excellent toughness even at low temperatures, and superior weldability. These characteristics ensure the material can withstand the immense stresses, impact loads, and harsh marine environments it will face throughout its service life.

The primary application for ABS AH36 steel is, as the name suggests, in the construction of ocean-going vessels. It is the material of choice for critical parts of a ship’s hull, including the shell plating, decks, and internal framing. Its high strength-to-weight ratio is crucial for creating durable yet efficient structures. Beyond shipbuilding, this steel is also widely used in offshore platforms, heavy-duty barges, and other marine engineering projects where exceptional durability and resistance to corrosive saltwater are absolutely non-negotiable for safety and longevity.
FAISAL Steel is a leading manufacturer, supplier and exporter of high-quality Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, Mild Steel and Galvanized Steel products.
