Abstract

ABSTRACTUsers and designers of marine equipment have available a large backlog of published data and experience for the selection of economical materials that will give reliable and durable service. Charts and summaries of these data are presented that permit the designer to screen his initial materials selection in terms of general wasting away, pitting, crevice effects, fouling, velocity effects and cavitation, galvanic effects, selective attack, stress corrosion cracking, deep immersion, and cost. These principles are applied in the selection of materials for sea water heat‐exchange systems, propellers, stern tube bearings, marine hardware, fasteners, marine wire rope, buoys, and floating platforms.
