Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a popular material for marine parts due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and strength. It is commonly used for propellers, shafts, and other critical components.
Aluminum Alloys
Aluminum alloys are lightweight and have good corrosion resistance, making them a popular choice for marine parts such as hulls, superstructures, and other non-critical components.
Bronze
Bronze is a strong, corrosion-resistant material that is commonly used for propellers, rudder assemblies, and other marine components that require high strength and durability.
High-density Plastics
High-density plastics,such as polyethylene and polypropylene,are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and have good impact resistance. They are commonly used for non-critical components such as piping, fittings, and cable insulation.
Titanium
Titanium is a strong, lightweight material that has excellent corrosion resistance, making it a good choice for marine components that require high strength and durability, such as propeller shafts and fasteners.
Carbon Fiber
Carbon fiber is a lightweight, high-strength material that is commonly used for marine components such as hulls and masts, where weight reduction is critical for improving vessel performance.
