Submarine Material

The document discusses the materials used in submarine construction. It describes how submarines use ballast tanks to control buoyancy and how their hulls are covered in sound absorbing materials like anechoic tiles to reduce detection. It provides details on the layered construction of submarine hulls including the use of mild steel for the outer layer and high-strength alloys or titanium for the inner layer. Key materials discussed include alloys for nuclear reactors and batteries as well as beryllium bronze for propellers.

After stealth layer, there is outer hull that made of mild-carbon steel that does not need strength mild-steel is choosen because economical and technical consideration To reduce the corosion mild-steel is coated by mixed layer consist of various inorganic coumpound Nitrate, Sulphate, Silicate, and Chromate

Made of high-strength alloy steel or titanium


Both are ideal material, the point is we must make inner hull shape perfect so the hull can distributing stress

A little defect can make inner hull become bent

Nuclear reactor rod and container made of silver-indiumcadmium alloy, generally 80% Ag, 15% In, and 5% Cd
Using these alloys because these can absorb many neutron without fisioning it

Using prism instead of mirror, because prism has additional optical capabilities such as range-finding and targeting
We can use any alloy steel for inner supporting, but for outer supporting we cant use alloy steel that has high corrosion. For outer supporting usually coated by cadmium layer for corrosion protection

Propellers for submarines are made out of beryllium bronze. It has very interesting physical properties like on of the highest melting point, flexural rigidity, thermal and acoustic conductions. The point in submarines propellers is to manufacture them as thin as possible so that the submarine could produce low noise and as strong as possible so that the submarine can achieve speed.
