Introduction
DNV GL approval is mandatory for materials used in constructing and repairing vessels, offshore structures, and pressure equipment that are required to meet their stringent class rules. Our DNV GL-certified aluminum wires—including the high-strength and cryogenic alloys—are continuously monitored and audited to ensure they maintain the required properties for critical welds in harsh marine and sub-zero environments. This certification provides an internationally recognized guarantee of quality and performance for shipyards and offshore fabricators globally.

Applications
Structural welding of hulls, superstructures, and components for DNV GL-classed vessels (including yachts, ferries, and LNG carriers).
Fabrication of pressure vessels and piping for offshore oil & gas platforms.
Cryogenic service welding for LNG tanks and storage facilities.
Any marine application requiring compliance with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) standards.
FAQ
- Q: What is the primary focus of DNV GL testing for aluminum wire?
- A: Testing focuses heavily on the weld's mechanical properties (tensile, yield), chemical composition consistency, and, crucially, the impact toughness, especially for alloys used in low-temperature or high-stress environments.
- Q: Do I need separate DNV GL approval if my material has ABS approval?
- A: Yes. While the technical specifications may overlap, each classification society requires its own specific approval and regular auditing for certified material to be used on vessels or structures classed by them.
