Self healing property of stainless steel

  • The alloy nature of Stainless Steel and its thin, transparent layer on the surface provides a self  
    healing feature. When activated by oxygen within the air or water then it is this layer which  
    repairs lightly scratched or any damage to the surface. 
  • Stainless steels contain a significant amount of chromium, which forms Chromium Oxide  
    when it oxidizes (rusts). 
  • In contrast to a simple carbon steel, which forms iron oxide when it  
    rusts, (the flaky reddish brown oxide we typically associate with rust). 
  • Iron oxide is brittle and  permeable, doing little to prevent further oxidation of the steel surface. In contrast, chromium  oxide does not have an objectionable appearance, being the same effective color as the base  metal, just a bit duller, and is hard and resilient. 
  • When you scratch or mar stainless, the  
    exposed chromium just forms a new oxide layer, protecting the underlying metal.

Shell Expansion Plan

It is a two dimensional drawing of a three dimensional surface of the ship’s hull form. This plan is very useful for the following information:It is used for marking the location of a hull Damage on this plan by identifying the strake number , letter and frame number so that the exact location of the damage and also suggested repairs are marked in a localised copy. The shell expansion can be used for finding areas of painting surfaces such as topside, boot topping and bottom areas by applying Simpsons rules directly.  In the shell expansion the vertical scale used is different from the horizontal scale and a suitable adjustment has to be made when calculating areas. This becomes useful in solving disputes concerning areas of preparation and painting. It gives information on the thickness of the original strake which is indicated by the number in the circle shown in the strake.  The quality of steel used is also shown by letters A,B,D E and AH, BH,DH, EH.

Why is a man hole door elliptical in shape?

Any opening in a pressure vessel is kept to a minimum and for a man entry an elliptical hole  is lesser in size than the corresponding circular hole. More over it is prime concern to have a  smoothed generous radius at the corners to eliminate stress concentration. Hence other  geometrical shapes like rectangle and square are ruled out.  To compensate for the loss of material in the shell due to opening, a doubler ring has to be  provided around the opening. The thickness of the ring depends on the axis length along the  dirrection in which the stresses are maximum and the thickness of the shell. It is important to  align the minor axis along the length of the vessel, as the stress in this direction is  maximum. Longitudinal stress: Pd/2t where P= pressure inside the vessel, d= diameter of the arc, t=  thickness of the shell plating  Circumferential stress: Pd/4t  More over a considerable material and weight saving is achieved as minor is along the  direction of maximum stress.
