Book Metal Corrosion in Boats

Download or read book Metal Corrosion in Boats written by Nigel Warren and published by Sheridan House, Inc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In the never-ending war against rust and corrosion, knowledge of the enemy is the sailor s best defense, and Nigel Warren is the Sun Tzu of corrosion. His third edition of Metal Corrosion in Boats covers all aspects of this often perplexing subject on how to prevent or at last reduce the harmful effects of water hulls, engines, rigging and fittings. While great attention is given to the age-old problem of galvanic corrosion, this new edition delves deeper into the effects of electrolytic corrosion, fast becoming a greater concern as more boats are plugging in to shore power. Modern super sealants, copper sheathing and chromium plating are also examined. A useful reference tool for boat owners and builders alike, Warren s book contains helpful color illustrations, and clear informative diagrams and tables. -- Sailing"--Amazon.com viewed Nov. 15, 2022.

  • Author : Vyv Cox
  • Publisher : The Crowood Press
  • Release : 2017-05-11
  • ISBN : 1785002635
  • Pages : 185 pages

Download or read book Metals in Boats written by Vyv Cox and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2017-05-11 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metals have been used in boats for thousands of years, as components of the vessel's construction, as load-bearing parts of the rigging and steering systems, and for a wide variety of domestic and service duties. Due to misunderstandings of the properties of the metals used, and in some cases to questionable design and manufacture, there have been spectacular and sometimes tragic failures of boats' metalworking. These continue even today. This new book explains in layman's terms how a wide variety of metal alloys may best be selected, formed and manufactured to give optimum performance in the typical conditions of a sailing or powered vessel. Subjects as wide-ranging as anodes, batteries, hulls, skin fittings and rigging components are described in detail, enabling the boat owner to select the preferred material for his vessel. This practical and instructional book will be of great interest to sailors, boat owners and those involved in boat maintenance, and is fully illustrated with 90 colour photographs and 20 diagrams.
