Abstract

This paper reviews new developments for stainless steel and nickel alloys now available for use in the marine industry. Properties of these alloys are significantly improved due to advances in their manufacturing processes over the last 30 years. Information is provided to assist in forming, fabrication, and post-fabrication cleaning of the alloys. Corrosion data are presented to help the marine engineer select the appropriate alloy. Cladding and wallpapering concepts are introduced and show promise as new and economical technology for corrosion protection. Examples of selected marine applications of the improved alloys are also provided
