Wear due to corrosion and cavitation is the predominant mechanism degradation of mechanical parts in the shipbuilding industry: rings, bearings, bushings, propellers of turbines, etc. Different alloys and grades of bronze (Tin, aluminum) as well as stainless steels (17 – 4PH, CAN6M, 316, etc.) are used specifically for their good behavior in marine environments. Also, hardfacing and repair solutions are available to restore the worn parts and improve surface properties.
