Q

Galvanic Corrosion

A

The Galvanic corrosion is a form of electrolysis whereby two different metals will react with one another to from an electric cell when they are placed in a suitable medium (an electrolyte).
In this case the less Nobel metal is aluminum which will give up its iron and become eaten away (it corrodes). The aluminum is known as the Anode while steel becomes the Cathode, The process is speed up due to the efficient salt water electrolyte.
- When on a hull with Propeller, use zink least nobel metal in galvancic scale as anode !!!

Sacrificial Anodes
ICCP Impressed current cathodic Protection

Q

How does Chemical corrosion occur in steel?

What factors cause it to be accelerated and how Good ship design could reduce it?

A

Caused when the oxygen in the atmosphere combines with the metal and forms iron oxide. The oxide film is not firmly attached to the parent plate and thus permits further oxidation to occur.

Accelerated by:
water and heat

Prevented by:
good ventilation, reduce heat, avoid water traps, regular inspection and maintenance

Q

What is Pounding ?

How can locality be stiffened to resist stress

A

Pounding is the vertical slamming of the Forefoot of the front of the Ship onto the trough of a wave being caused by a combination of pitching and heaving.
This Produces large impulsive forces on the bottom plating

  • reduce frame spacing
  • additional stiffeners introduced
  • increase shell plating thickness

Q

What is Panting?

How can locality be stiffened to resist stress

A

Panting is the In and Out movement of the shell material due to varying pressure changes.

The area is stiffened by:
- closer frame spacing
- increasing shell thickness
- thicker keel plate
- thicker plate stem
- additional Panting stringers
adding additional stiffeners (panting beams)

21
Q

Aluminium

Pros and Cons

A

Pros:
- light
- does not rust
- less maintenance
-good radar detection

Cons:
- expensive
- poor fire resistant
-corrodes rapidly in contact with other metals

22
Q

FPR - Fibre reinforced plastic

Pros and Cons

A

Pros:
- corrosion free
- light
- easily repaired
- easily moulded

Cons:
- poor fire resistant
- osmosis
- easily damaged

23
Q

Wood

Pros and Cons

A

Pros:
- buoyant
- light
- laminate use
- looks nice

Cons:
- expensive
- rots
- burns
- subject to insert attack

24
Q

Steel

Pros and Cons

A

Pros:
- Cheap
- easy to repair
- good fire resistant
-good radar detection

Cons:
-needs insolation against condensation
- heavy
-corrodes

25
Q

Rolling motion of the vessel `Tender´

A

long short slow and lazy roll

Pros:
comfortable
no stress on vessel
no moving of weights

cons:
easily inclined
less ability to return once inclined

26
Q

Rolling motion of the vessel
stiff

A

Short period of roll ; can be jerky violent

Pros:
reserve stability
difficult to incline
easy to keep upright

Cons:
uncomfortable
items move around
racking &structural stress

27
Q

Racking

How to improve ?

A

When a ship is rolling in a seaway or is struck by beam waves, the ships structure is liable to distort in a transverse direction

Increase transverse bulkheads
beams and beam knees
web frames

28
Q

Continues Center Girder

A

large Steel section running the length of the ship resting on the keel plate

It gives longitudinal strength to the ship and helps to resist hogging and sagging

29
Q

Hull / Shell Plating

A

Watertight skin of the ship keeping the water out and supporting the structure

Upper and lower parts are thinker to give strength due to stress of hogging and sagging

30
Q

Transverse Bulkheads

A

-sub-divides yacht into separate compartments:
-to contain flooding (w/t integrity);
-to contain fire;
-contribute to transverse strength of vessel; contribute to resisting of racking;
contribute to load bearing;
effectively distributes loads to adjacent structures.

31
Q

Describe one method of cathodic protection.

A

That galvanic action is an electro-chemical form of corrosion where one of two dissimilar metals are eaten away. The metal that is eaten away is the one less Nobel in the Galvanic Scale. To counteract this in respect to mild steel, a metal more ignoble/anodic e.g. zinc or magnesium may be used and these are termed sacrificial anodes which will waste in preference to the steel.

32
Q

Forward Perpendicular (FP)

A

Vertical line perpendicular to the base line where the Summer load line (SLL) crosses the stem.

33
Q

After Perpendicular (AP)

A

Vertical line perpendicular to the base line where the Summer load line crosses the stern (passing through the rudder stock (on a conventional ship).

34
Q

LBP

A

Lenght between perpenticulars

The length of the vessel measured between the forward and the aft perpendiculars.

35
Q

Length Overall LOA

A

The extreme length of the vessel.

36
Q

Camber

A

Transverse curvature of the deck, helping to shed water from the deck.

37
Q

Sheer

A

Longitudinal curvature of the deck, adding buoyancy to the ends of the vessel.

38
Q

Osmosis

A

Osmosis is the cracking or blistering of the surface. Gel coat damage allows water to come into direct contact with the resins which are porous and allowed water to be sucked in.
This increases the pressure in the gaps forcing the laminate apart and breaking up the FRP

Use Epoxy resin to improve and fix

39
Q

Jet Bonding

A
  • Explosive bolding is a method of joining two metals to give a corrosion free point
  • gap is left between the two metals and once explosion is initiated, jet forces any particles out to have no corrosion occur
40
Q

Light Displacement

A

Mass of the vessel when complete but with no passengers, stores, fuel, cargo – an empty ship

41
Q

Summer Deadweight

A

Difference between lightship and Summer displacements at assigned freeboard. Load displacement - Light Displacement

42
Q

Reserved Buoyancy
