Introduction

ABS approval is a cornerstone requirement for shipyards and manufacturers supplying the US maritime and energy sectors. Our ABS-approved wires are subjected to continuous verification of quality and performance against ABS rules for critical structural welding. This approval is key for projects involving US flagged vessels, US military projects, and numerous international marine and offshore developments where ABS classification is specified. We ensure that our materials provide the necessary strength and resistance to the harsh marine environment.

Specification

CertificationAmerican Bureau of Shipping (ABS) Product Approval
Applicable StandardABS Rules for Materials and Welding
Material FocusHigh demand for ER5183, ER5356 (for structural and marine use)
Key PropertyMechanical strength, Low defect rate (X-ray quality), Corrosion resistance
AuditingSubject to regular ABS audits for continued approval status

Applications

  • Welding aluminum decks, superstructures, and hulls for ABS-classed commercial and military vessels.

  • Fabrication of offshore drilling rig modules and floating production units (FPUs).

  • Repair and maintenance of container ships and large bulk carriers.

  • Any project where the material must comply with US Coast Guard or US Navy standards often referencing ABS rules.

FAQ

  • Q: What distinguishes ABS approval from other classification societies?
  • A: While the technical base is similar (AWS), ABS focuses heavily on US-specific codes and applications, and their approval is often a primary or co-requisite for vessels entering US waters or subject to US maritime law.
  • Q: Is ER4043 commonly ABS approved?
  • A: ER4043 (Al-Si) is widely used and approved, primarily for non-structural, non-strength-critical joints, and repair of cast components. High-strength structural marine applications predominantly require 5XXX series alloys.

Advantages

  • US Market Access: Provides essential material compliance for the competitive US shipbuilding and maritime repair industry.

  • High Reliability: ABS's rigorous testing ensures the weld metal's integrity in complex structural and dynamic marine applications.

  • Procurement Efficiency: Materials can be ordered and used immediately without costly, project-specific qualification testing.

  • Full Traceability: Documentation meets the stringent quality assurance requirements of US government and defense contracts.

Payment and Shipping

  • Documentation: Providing the current ABS Approval Certificate and detailed MTCs with every order.

  • Logistics: Experienced in managing the import and logistics requirements for major US ports and shipyards.

  • Contract Support: Negotiable terms for supplying large, scheduled volumes of ABS-approved consumables.
