L-shaped section steel for Shipbuilding & Offshore

High-strength L-shaped steels designed for ship hull frames, decks, and offshore structures.
Certified by ABS, LR, BV, DNV, CCS — with reliable supply and fast delivery.

Product Overview

Marine L-shaped steel, also known as shipbuilding L section, is a hot-rolled steel profile commonly used in ship hull structures, decks, bulkheads, and offshore platforms. Its L-shaped cross-section provides high structural strength, efficient load-bearing capacity, and excellent weldability.
At Shandong Xinpeng Steel, we supply marine-grade L-shaped steels that fully comply with international ship classification standards. With a wide range of dimensions, certified quality, and flexible delivery options, our products are trusted by shipyards and offshore engineering companies worldwide.

Product Advantages

PSPC

Advanced High-Pressure Descaling Technology

Utilizing multiple channels of advanced high-pressure descaling technology, fully meeting the technical standards of PSPC in the international shipbuilding industry.

Professional TMCP Rolling Technology

By applying precise rolling control with surplus cutting edges, the final rolling temperature is strictly managed under the recrystallization temperature of austenite, ensuring comprehensive optimization of product performance.

Double Straightening + Strong Straightening

Achieving excellent straightening accuracy with double and strong straightening processes, ensuring the straightness tolerance of each shipbuilding section is less than 1‰, reaching the world’s advanced level.

Intelligent Inspection System for Shipbuilding Sections

Independently developed intelligent inspection system for shipbuilding sections, enabling full-process monitoring and quality control of steel section production.
