The Australian Submarine Agency has entered into a contract with Australian steel manufacturer, Bisalloy Steels, for the qualification of Australian steel for use on Australia’s future SSN-AUKUS submarines.
The $15 million contract will ensure that Australian-made steel will be used in the construction of Australia’s nuclear-powered submarines built at Osborne Naval Shipyard, South Australia, subject to a comprehensive qualification process.
The comprehensive qualification process, involving more than 4,500 tests, is expected to be completed in the first half of 2025.
