Reliable Offshore Protection
Innovation & Optimum Performance
Protection At Sea
Marine structures and vessels operate in one of the most harsh environments on the planet. Being exposed, submerged and operated in seawater corrodes metal and mechanical parts. Corrosion at sea is aggressive and can severely damage expensive asset equipment in a matter of months rather than years, reducing fabricated steel integrity ten-fold.
Cavitation Corrosion/Erosion
Cavitation is a form of corrosion, formed as a result of operating pressures dropping below the vapour pressure of the surrounding fluid. This causes tiny gas bubbles to form, which collapse at an increased velocity on the surface of the exposed material.
This constant impact collapse of the bubbles causes fatigue on the substrate resulting in erosion of the surface, which is usually seen as severe pitting or pock marks over the area.
Jet Tubes, Kort Nozzles, Bow & Stern Thrusters, Rudder Leading Edges, Propellers, Stern Tubes, Seal Housings, Engine Casings & A Frames are some of the areas we find cavitation corrosion.
Corrotec Ltd can offer repair & protect solutions against cavitation corrosion, contact us now for more information.
