Technology Description

To keep the weight of the floating bridge to a minimum and at the same time to have a high load carrying capacity, the steel used for the fabrication of the mid and shore pontoons was required to be of very high strength structural steel sheets with yield strength of 500 - 550 MPa and thickness of 2 mm & 3 mm. This is used for transport of vehicles, equipments and personnel across the water obstacles and marshy grounds.

Benefits

The presence of the micro-alloying elements render these steels particularly amenable to thermo mechanical processing.
