Summary:
First, the high cost of stainless steel
Stainless steel is very expensive as a high-priced material. While shipbuilding requires a large number of materials, the higher cost of stainless steel does not have the advantage. Take the hull as an example, the use of stainless steel materials, shipbuilding costs will be greatly enhanced.
Second, the lack of stainless steel strength
Although stainless steel performs well in daily life, its mechanical strength can not meet the requirements of the ship in the case of heavy loads and large waves. The hull of the ship needs to withstand a lot of water pressure and impact, so the use of higher strength materials is very necessary.
Third, stainless steel is susceptible to corrosion
Although stainless steel has a certain degree of corrosion resistance, corrosion still occurs in seawater. The ship needs to be at sea for a long time, the corrosion of stainless steel is subject to more stringent test. Corrosion will weaken the structural strength of stainless steel, resulting in ship failure.
Fourth, stainless steel repair difficulty
Ships need regular repair and maintenance, and stainless steel repair is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also high cost. If you need to replace a part, you need to cut and weld the whole area, and the replacement cost is higher.
