Old ship's propeller
Ships use a propeller with multiple blades for propulsion. Over time, the blades wear down due to rotation in the water and exposure to water, salt, and algae. As a result, it is sometimes necessary to replace the propeller before the ship reaches the end of its service life. Ship propellers come in a wide variety of shapes, alloys, and sizes, ranging from 2 kg to 100 metric tons and from 1 meter to 8 meters.
Transporting large ship propellers is challenging. They usually need to be cut down in size before being transported by road. Cutting down such a propeller can also be challenging. Due to their thickness, a thermal lance is often required for this purpose. However, the propeller must not only be reduced in size for transport; the smelter may also have specific dimensional requirements before it can be used as a secondary raw material.
The price of used ship propellers depends heavily on the cost of reducing their size. In addition, the alloy is very important. The price of used CuNiAl propellers depends on the copper price and on supply and demand.
Examples of ship propellers
- Aluminum bronze screw or aluminum bronze propeller
- Propeller scrap
- Manganese bronze screw
- Manganese brass screw
- Cunial magazines
- Marine propeller
Product Specifications for Ship Propellers
Ship propellers are usually made of strong bronze alloys that are highly resistant to corrosion and wear in seawater. These alloys often contain copper combined with elements such as aluminum, manganese, or nickel.
Because of this composition, ship propellers are well-suited for long-term use in marine environments. At the same time, this also makes the material valuable for recycling, as the metals can be remelted and used for new applications.
Because ship propellers are often very massive, in some cases they must first be cut down in size before they can be transported or processed. For large propellers, special cutting techniques are frequently used for this purpose.
