INTRODUTION

• The basic ship construction materials used for construction are the same like most other
construction projects and include but not limited to
• Iron,
• Steel,
• Aluminium
• plastics and so forth.
STEEL

• This is a highly versatile ship construction material and is used extensively on ships for
the making of its integral structure and parts.
• For the construction of the hull of a ship, mild steel containing 0.15% to 0.23 % carbon,
and reasonably high manganese content is used.
• Sulphur and phosphorus contents in the mild steel are kept to a minimum (less than
0.05%) as higher contents of each hamper the welding properties of the steel.
ALUMINUM ALLOYS

• Three main advantages which Aluminum alloys have over mild steel in the construction
of ships.
• Aluminum is lighter than mild steel and studies suggest that up to 60 percent of the
weight of a steel structure can be saved by using Al alloys. For merchant vessels, this is a
key advantage for increasing the cargo carrying capacity of ships.
• Aluminum is highly resistant to corrosion
• Its non-magnetic properties and low-cost maintenance
CONT.

• selection of Al-Mg (Aluminum-Magnesium) type alloys brings a potential for at least 10% lower
costs in respect of the heat-treatable, and appears favorable after a total estimation for applicability
in shipbuilding
• Excellent corrosion properties of aluminum can be used easily
• Aluminium alloys can replace carbon steels of normal strength. The weight saved by using Al
alloys improves the ship stability – and allows the design of narrower ships, which in turn
enhances fuel efficiency.
• The most often used Al-alloys used in shipbuilding are the 5083 type for plates and 6082 for
extrusions.
PROPERTIES

• Strength
• Weldability
• Toughness
• Marine corrosion
• Formability
STRENGTH

• steel with yield strength of around 32,000 to 36,000 psi (220 to 250 MPa)
• tensile strength or ultimate tensile strength (UTS) over 50,000 psi (340 MPa).
SUGGESTED MATERIAL

• Aluminum alloy due to lower weight, prevent corrosion, low cost and high strength
• Titanium metal and its alloys are desirable materials for ship hulls and other structures
because of their high strength, light weight and corrosion-resistance. If constructed in
titanium, Navy ships
MORDEN MATERIALS

• Ferrocement. Ferrocement is probably the earliest use of composites in the Marine

industry, used for developing low-cost barges. ...
• Glass reinforced plastic. Glass fibers became available just after the development of
polyester resins. ...
• Wood/Adhesive Composites. ...
• Aramid fiber Composites. ...
• Carbon fiber.
