The marine propeller is regarded as critical component with regard to the performance of the ships and torpedoes. Traditionally marine propellers are made of manganese-nickel-aluminum-bronze (MAB) or nickel-aluminum-bronze (NAB) for superior corrosion resistance, high-yield strength, reliability, and affordability. Since the composite materials can offer the potential benefits of reduced corrosion and cavitation damage, improved fatigue performance, lower noise, improved material damping properties, and reduced lifetime maintenance cost, Many researches on the application of the composite materials for marine propeller had been conducted. In this work, the INSEAN 1619 large screw 7 bladed propeller is analyzed, to explore the hydrodynamic and structural performance of composite materials effect on propeller’s performances, The commercial software ANSYS Workbench was used in this research. The coupled FSI method was used to analysis the dynamic performance of INSEAN 1619 large screw 7 bladed propeller made of different materials. The simulation results show that the effect of fluid–structure interaction in the analysis of flexible composite propellers should be considered.

Most of the marine propellers are made of metal material such as bronze or steel. The advantages of replacing metal with CFRP composite materials are that the latter is lighter and corrosion-resistant. Another important advantage is that the deformation of the composite propeller can be controlled to improve its performance. Propellers always rotate at a constant velocity that maximizes the efficiency of the engine. When the ship sails at the designed speed, the inflow angle is close to its pitch angle. When the ship sails at a lower speed, the inflow angle is smaller. Hence, the pressure on the propeller increases as the ship speed decreases. The propulsion efficiency is also low when the inflow angle is far from the pitch angle. If the pitch angle can be reduced when the inflow angle is low, then the efficiency of the propeller can be improved. In addition the load-bearing fibers can be aligned and stacked to reduce fluttering and to improve the hydrodynamic efficiency. Composites can offer the potential benefits of reduced corrosion and cavitations damage, improved fatigue performance, lower noise, improved material damping properties, and reduced lifetime maintenance cost. Traditionally marine propellers are made of manganese-nickel-aluminum-bronze (MAB) or nickel-aluminum-bronze (NAB) for superior corrosion resistance, high-yield strength, reliability, and affordability.

AbstractThe present study compares prerequisites for cavitation-resistant bronzes production by different coating techniques, namely cold spraying, HVOF spraying, warm spraying and arc spraying. If optimized to maximum cavitation resistance, the deposited coatings can increase the service life of ship rudders significantly. Furthermore, these methods could enable repair processes for ship propellers. This study is meant to help selecting the right coating technology to achieve best cavitation protection for a given set of requirements. Using high-pressure warm spraying and cold spraying, properties similar to those of cast nickel aluminum bronze are achieved. Also, coatings produced by using HVOF and arc spraying have erosion rates that are only about four, respectively, three times higher as compared to cast nickel aluminum bronze, while by far outperforming bulk shipbuilding steel. Their properties should be sufficient for longer service life, i.e., less docking events for ship rudder repair. Hence, with respect to costs, HVOF and arc spraying could represent a good compromise to reach the specified coating properties needed in application, potentially even for propeller repair.

In this work, the corrosion behavior and surface reactivity of as-cast and heat-treated nickel aluminum bronze casting alloy (UNS C95800) in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution is investigated under stagnant and flow conditions. Increasing flow rate conditions are simulated using a rotating disk electrode from 0 to 9000 revolutions per minute (rpm). Optical micrographs confirm the decrease in the phase fraction of corrosion-sensitive β phase in the microstructure of C95800 after annealing, which, in turn, enhances the corrosion resistance of the alloy. Electrochemical studies including open circuit potentiometry, potentiodynamic polarization, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy are performed to assess the effect of flow rate and heat treatment on the corrosion of samples at 25 and 40 °C in 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. For both as-cast and heat-treated samples, increasing the flow rate (i.e., electrode rotating rate) linearly reduces the corrosion resistance, indicating that the metal dissolution rate is significantly affected by hydrodynamic flow. Increasing the solution temperature negatively impacts the corrosion behavior of the as-cast and heat-treated samples at all flow conditions.
