The marine environment is one of the most demanding operating conditions for cast parts. Salt water, constant vibration and high mechanical loads require high resistance to corrosion and fatigue in parts such as ship propeller hubs, rudder bearings, mooring equipment and engine blocks.
Corrosion-Resistant Solutions
In maritime applications, a suitable ductile iron or steel casting alloy is selected according to the environment the part is exposed to. The right alloy and a controlled casting process ensure the part remains durable for a long time in marine conditions.
Experience in Large Parts
Internal soundness and dimensional stability are critical in large, thick-section parts such as ship engine blocks. Morçelik’s experience in large-part casting and feeding meets the reliable quality demanded by the maritime and shipbuilding industry.
