Marine castings refer to castings made using casting techniques suitable for ship construction and repair. They have many unique characteristics and advantages, can withstand various harsh marine environments and working conditions, and have characteristics such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, and good sealing. The following will provide a detailed introduction to the characteristics of marine castings.

High strength and good plasticity

Marine castings are usually made from high-strength metals such as cast iron, cast steel, etc. These metals have good plasticity and plasticity, and can be used to make various complex shaped castings. The strength of marine castings can reach a high level, able to withstand various pressures that may be encountered during navigation, ensuring the safety and reliability of the ship.

Corrosion resistance and wear resistance

During navigation, ships often have to withstand the corrosion and wear of seawater, and marine castings have good corrosion and wear resistance characteristics. Its surface has undergone special treatment, which can effectively prevent seawater erosion and chemical corrosion, thereby extending its service life. Meanwhile, during friction and collision in seawater, marine castings can also remain intact and not easily damaged.

High temperature and heat resistance

Marine castings usually have to withstand high temperatures and thermal environments, such as in marine boilers, engines, etc. Therefore, marine castings must have good high-temperature and heat resistance performance. The materials used during casting need to undergo special treatment to maintain stable performance and structure in high-temperature environments, thereby ensuring the normal operation of marine castings.

Good sealing performance

Marine castings also have good sealing performance. As an important component of the ship, it must ensure the sealing between various parts of the ship. The manufacturing process and material selection of marine castings can lead to differences in their sealing performance. To ensure the sealing of marine castings, strict control must be exercised during assembly.

Low cost

Compared to other processing methods, the cost of casting castings is much lower. Casting can use disposable molds, which can quickly and massively produce large quantities of castings, thereby reducing production costs. At the same time, it is also conducive to ensuring quality stability and reducing labor costs.

In summary, marine castings have the characteristics of high strength, good plasticity, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, heat resistance, and good sealing. Marine castings play a crucial role in ship construction and repair, ensuring the safety and reliability of ships.
