-70-IIF.INSTALLATION OF SYSTEMS AND FQUIPMENTMATERIALShavePropellers - For cormnercialship application the majority of propellersbeen of the following materials:Material-AlloyManganese BronzeNickel Manganese BronzeNickel Aluminum BronzeManganese Nickel Aluminum BronzeTrade NameTurbine MetalNialite awl NikaliumSuperstonWhen these materials are coupled to <strong>aluminum</strong> in sea water a galvaticcell is created and the <strong>aluminum</strong> <strong>hull</strong> platim, rudder. etc. will be anodicto the bronze and will act as an anode-to pr~~ect thi~ vexy large area ofbronze cathode and the ahmin-mnwill corrode vexy rapidly. A cathodicprotection system can be installed to protect the <strong>aluminum</strong> underwater structure.Another material which is more compatible with <strong>aluminum</strong> in sea watershould be considered. Such a material is 18 per cent chrome - 8 per centnickel stainless steel alloy, similar in composition to the Alloy CastingInstitute Specification CF-8 (corresponding wrought alloy type is AISI 304).This alloy has been used successfully <strong>for</strong> many years on the 29 ships builtbetween 1962 and 1968 <strong>for</strong> Lykes Bros. and Gulf & South American <strong>Ship</strong>s.These propellers vary from ~2,000 to 76,000 pounds in weight and are about21 feet in diameter.The chemical, mechanical and physical properties of this CF8 materialare as follows.
