Selecting appropriate steel-grades for polar-class icebreakers construction

In shipbuilding industry, selecting an appropriate grade of steel and the associated characterization techniques, tailored well for low temperature application, have always been a challenge. This subject can be even more critical when we are talking about the materials selection and the characterization techniques for polar class icebreakers. Therefore, Chantier Davie Canada Inc. (CDCI) in a close collaboration with Université du Québec à Chicoutimi (UQAC) has defined the current research project to address the challenges on the material (i.e., steel grade) selection in manufacturing the vessel used in polar class icebreakers.
