Experimental Study on Application of Ultrasonic Technology for Marine Organism Fouling Prevention on Ships
Aiming at the problems of marine organisms on ships,the experimental study is conducted for the application of ultrasonic marine organism prevention technology on marine valve boxes and propellers.The effects of ultrasound on the tensile and impact properties of valve boxes and propeller materials are validated.The results show that the ultrasonic technology effectively prevents the growth and attachment of marine organisms during the 63-day test period,while having little effect on the tensile,impact and coating properties of valve boxes and propeller materials.The results prove the value of ultrasonic marine organism prevention technology and dispel the risks,which is instructive for the application of the technology on real ships.
