Magnesium forgings have a wide range of applications in Marine engineering and can cope with complex Marine environments and harsh working conditions. At the same time, it also faces some challenges. The following are some aspects of its application and challenges:
Applications:
- Application of structural parts: Engineering machinery magnesium forgings are suitable for the manufacture of various structural parts, such as hulls, platforms, bulkheads, etc. Because magnesium has high specific strength and stiffness, it can reduce the weight of the structure while ensuring the strength of the structure.
2, wave, wind power equipment: construction machinery magnesium forgings are also widely used in the field of Marine energy, such as wave energy, wind power generation equipment. Its lightweight and high-strength characteristics make the equipment more stable and reliable in harsh sea conditions.
- Deep-sea mining equipment: The development of deep-sea mineral resources has high requirements for equipment, and magnesium forgings of construction machinery can provide more lightweight and high-strength solutions to meet the needs of the deep-sea environment.
Challenge:
- Highly corrosive environment: chloride ions and salt water in the Marine environment will cause corrosion of magnesium materials, so the use of magnesium forgings in Marine engineering needs to take corresponding corrosion protection measures, such as coating, protective coating, etc.
- High pressure and vibration: the ocean is often accompanied by huge water pressure and hydrodynamic effects, which will put forward higher requirements for the structural strength and stability of magnesium forgings of construction machinery, and it is necessary to carry out adequate strength check and vibration analysis.
- Maintenance and overhaul difficulties: Marine engineering equipment has high requirements for maintenance and overhaul, and the special nature of construction machinery magnesium forgings (such as combustible) may increase the difficulty of maintenance and overhaul, and it is necessary to design a structure that meets the maintenance requirements.
- Cost and reliability: Although magnesium forgings of construction machinery have the advantages of light weight and high strength, their material and manufacturing costs are high, and their reliability may need to be further verified and improved in some special application conditions.
In summary, magnesium forgings of construction machinery have a wide application prospect in Marine engineering, but they also face some technical and economic challenges. Therefore, in the process of engineering design and manufacturing, factors such as material properties, environmental requirements and cost-effectiveness need to be considered comprehensively to ensure the reliable application of magnesium forgings in engineering machinery in Marine engineering.
