Stainless steel parts are widely used in the shipbuilding industry because of their corrosion resistance, high strength and good processing performance. The following are some main application parts and components:
1. hull structure
       Hull: the hull of some small ships or yachts will be made of stainless steel, or the key parts of the hull will be strengthened with stainless steel plates. The seawater corrosion resistance of stainless steel can effectively extend the service life of the hull and reduce the maintenance cost.
       Deck: stainless steel is often used to make the deck of ships, especially on some luxury cruise ships and high-performance ships. It can bear the weight of personnel and equipment, and resist the erosion of sea water, salt fog and all kinds of bad weather, so as to maintain the strength and stability of the deck.
       Cabin structure: stainless steel parts will also be used for cabin structure inside the ship, such as bulkhead, ceiling and floor. Stainless steel not only has good corrosion resistance, but also can provide good fire resistance performance to ensure the safety of ships during navigation.
2. ship equipment
       Engine system: stainless steel has many applications in marine engine system, such as engine exhaust pipe, turbocharger housing, fuel injection system components, etc. Stainless steel can withstand high temperature, high pressure and corrosive environment to ensure the normal operation of the engine.
       Ship pipeline system: including seawater cooling pipeline, fuel oil pipeline, drinking water pipeline, etc. Stainless steel pipes have corrosion resistance, wear resistance and good sealing performance, which can ensure the safe transportation of various fluids and reduce the risk of leakage and blockage.
       Ventilation system: in the ventilation system of ships, stainless steel is used to manufacture ventilation ducts, vents, air handling equipment and other components. It can prevent the damage of humid air and corrosive gas to the ventilation system, and ensure the circulation and quality of air inside the ship.
       Marine pumps: the pump shell, impeller and other parts are often made of stainless steel to resist the corrosion of seawater and other media and improve the service life and work efficiency of the pump.
3. ship accessories
       Railings and handrails: the railings and handrails of the deck, stairs and passages of the ship are usually made of stainless steel. Stainless steel railings not only provide safety protection, but also have a beautiful appearance, which can be coordinated with the overall style of the ship.
       Marine furniture: such as dining table, chair, cabinet and other marine furniture, some of which will use stainless steel materials or stainless steel parts. Stainless steel furniture has the characteristics of corrosion resistance, easy cleaning and durability, which is suitable for use in the humid environment of ships.
       Mooring equipment: mooring equipment such as bollards, fairleads, etc. are usually made of stainless steel to withstand the huge tensile force and seawater corrosion when the ship is moored.
       Hardware accessories: various hardware accessories on ships, such as bolts, nuts, washers, hinges, etc., are also made of stainless steel to ensure reliability and service life in humid and corrosive environments.
