Examples of technologies utilized in the shipbuilding industry

CFRP加工

CFRP

CFRP processing is a processing technology utilized in the shipbuilding industry to reduce weight and increase strength. CFRP is significantly lighter than metal, is resistant to corrosion, and has excellent resistance to fatigue and salt damage, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and durability of ships. Recently, CFRP has been increasingly used, especially for radar masts, partial hull structures, hatch covers, inboard stairs, and railings. It is also attracting attention as a material that broadens the range of design possibilities because of its high degree of freedom in processing and its ability to be used for parts with complex shapes.

金属3Dプリント

Metal 3D Printing

Metal 3D printing is useful in the shipbuilding industry for manufacturing repair parts for large structures and specially shaped piping components. In particular, corrosion resistance is required for parts that come into contact with seawater, and the selection of materials and the reduction of joints through integrated molding have a significant effect. The on-demand nature of the system, which enables the manufacture of necessary parts at the required time, also shortens the time spent at the dock.

樹脂3Dプリント

Resin 3D Printing

Resin 3D printing is utilized in the manufacture of ship interior parts, ducts, and cable guides, and is ideal for ship design, which requires a lot of individualization due to its light weight and high degree of design freedom. Using water- and chemical-resistant materials, it can be used in real-world environments without problems, and can be used in a wide range of applications from the prototyping stage to the final product.

板金加工

Sheet Metal

Sheet metal fabrication technology is essential to the manufacture of hull and structural components in the shipbuilding industry. Thick steel plates and aluminum alloys are processed by cutting, bending, welding, and other methods to produce parts with high strength and durability. Specifically, it is widely used for large structural parts such as ship hulls, bulkheads, decks, tanks, and piping covers. In addition, precision sheet metal fabrication ensures airtightness and watertightness of hulls, thereby enhancing the safety of ships.

切削加工

Machining

Cutting technology is utilized in the shipbuilding industry to manufacture highly precise and durable parts. Major applications include propeller shafts, rudder shafts, engine parts, pump and valve components, all of which require high dimensional accuracy and surface finish. Shafts, in particular, are long and heavy, and straightness and balance are important, so precision machining is essential. When corrosion or wear resistance is required, difficult-to-machine materials such as stainless steel or special alloys may also be machined by cutting.

射出成形

Injection Molding

Injection molding technology is also used in the shipbuilding industry to manufacture plastic parts that must be lightweight and durable. Typical examples are electrical connectors, cable protection covers, panel switches, interior parts, and piping supports. Integral molding also reduces the number of parts, making the assembly process more efficient and lightweight. It is also suitable for mass production, leading to cost reduction. For injection molding, engineering plastics with excellent resistance to salt, ultraviolet rays, and chemicals are often used to meet the needs of the marine environment.

冷間加工

Cold Forming Process

Cold working is a processing method that plastically deforms materials below their recrystallization temperature, and can be used to manufacture parts for the shipbuilding industry. In the shipbuilding industry, cold working is mainly used to bend and form large steel plates. For example, cold working is used in various situations, such as the processing of steel plates used for the outer hull of a ship or for the internal structure of a ship. Cold working is important in increasing the strength of a ship's hull because work hardening increases the strength of the material. At the same time, it also provides various advantages, such as precise dimensional accuracy, making it suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes, and smooth surfaces, reducing hull drag.

We offer a diverse range of technologies, including

Examples of materials utilized in the shipbuilding industry

High tensile strength steel
High-tensile steel (high-tensile steel) is a material widely used in the shipbuilding industry for structural components such as hulls, decks, and bulkheads. It is characterized by its high tensile strength compared to ordinary steel, which means that even thin sheets can be made strong enough. This makes it possible to reduce the weight of ships, leading to improved fuel efficiency and increased payload capacity. It also has excellent weldability and workability, making it suitable for building large ships and high-speed vessels. Furthermore, its excellent fatigue resistance and impact resistance ensure stable performance over long periods of time even in harsh marine environments.
aluminum alloy
Aluminum alloys are widely used in the shipbuilding industry as a lightweight and corrosion-resistant material. In particular, it is used for ship superstructures, radar masts, hatch covers, and interior parts, contributing to weight reduction of the entire hull. In addition, lighter hulls can be expected to improve the fuel efficiency and speed of ships, leading to improved loading efficiency. In addition, aluminum is resistant to salt damage and corrosion and can demonstrate high durability in a marine environment. It is also highly machinable, easily adapted to welding, cutting, and bending, making it suitable for manufacturing parts with complex shapes.
CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic)
CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) is a material with lightweight and high-strength properties that is increasingly being used in the shipbuilding industry. Specifically, CFRP is used for radar masts, hatch covers, inboard stairways, railings, etc., contributing to weight reduction of the entire hull. This allows for improved fuel efficiency and faster navigation, leading to lower operating costs. CFRP also has excellent resistance to corrosion and salt damage, and is resistant to long-term deterioration even in harsh marine environments. It also offers a high degree of design freedom and can flexibly accommodate the manufacture and customization of parts with complex shapes.

In addition to this, we can handle all kinds of materials.

Key to Successful Manufacturing of Components for the Shipbuilding Industry

Use of durable and corrosion-resistant materials

The manufacture of parts for the shipbuilding industry requires the selection of highly durable and corrosion-resistant materials. This is because ships are constantly exposed to seawater, moisture, and ultraviolet rays. Typical materials include high-tensile steel (high-tensile steel), aluminum alloys, stainless steel, and even CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic), which have excellent corrosion resistance. These materials are used in hull structures, decks, hatch covers, railings, radar masts, etc., and contribute to ensuring durability and safety. Selecting the right materials can also extend the service life of ships and reduce maintenance costs.

Ensure the quality of welding and joining techniques

Ensuring the quality of welding and joining techniques in shipbuilding directly affects the safety and durability of ships. In particular, structural components such as hulls, decks, and bulkheads are constantly subjected to high loads and wave impacts, requiring strong and uniform welding quality. Therefore, in addition to the selection of appropriate welding methods (arc welding, TIG welding, etc.), highly skilled operators are essential. In addition, non-destructive testing (ultrasonic inspection, X-ray inspection, etc.) after welding is required to detect internal defects and guarantee quality. These quality controls ensure safe navigation.

Designed with an awareness of the balance between weight reduction and strength

In shipbuilding, it is important to design a balance between weight reduction and strength. While weight reduction of the hull and superstructure directly leads to improved fuel efficiency and increased payload capacity, it must also ensure sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand waves and impacts. Therefore, lightweight and high-strength materials such as high-tensile steel, aluminum alloys, and CFRP must be used in the right places and optimized through structural analysis and simulation. This balanced design enables shipbuilding that is both safe and efficient.
