Yes, I meant class approved steel.

"The most basic is called either Grade A, or J235 or JR235 or S235 steel depending upon or stockist/mill supplier. This conforms to BS EN 10 025 (1993). It is this that is commonly used in shipbuilding.
"

The J235, JR & S235 are grades that are sold as construction steel and grade A is the same steel that has been approved by Lloyds for ship use. Is this correct?
Can you recommend a concise source of information on the web about what these grades mean?

I was planning to blast after completion of the welding and use Jota mastic direct on the blasted surface by airless spray. Will take up your offer of welding advice.
