Description

Background Art

[0002] With the development of the ship and ocean engineering fields, various ship types have emerged in the transportation demand for bulk commodities. The hull plates of these ship types are usually composed of complex non-developable space curved surfaces, requiring a smooth overall hull line. This is not only for visual perception but also affects the shipbuilding quality and overall performance. The rudder bulb is a key component of the ship's rudder system, and its structure needs to meet the requirements of high strength, high precision, and complex curved surface forming. Due to the large size and high processing difficulty of the rudder bulb, traditional processing methods mainly rely on cast steel parts for the rudder bulb, but there are the following significant defects: (1) Insufficient material properties: The toughness of cast steel parts is poor, and cracks or even fractures are likely to occur under complex sea conditions, threatening the safety of the ship.

[0003] (2) Process defects are difficult to avoid: Defects such as porosity, sand holes, and shrinkage porosity are likely to occur during the casting process, resulting in a decrease in the density of the finished product and a shortening of the fatigue life.

[0004] (3) Long production cycle: It needs to go through multiple processes such as mold manufacturing, casting, heat treatment, and machining. The production process of ship cast steel parts has many steps, and each link requires a certain amount of time, resulting in a long overall production cycle and seriously affecting the shipbuilding progress.

[0005] In addition, some existing solutions use forging processes instead, but forging processes: are difficult to form complex curved surfaces, require a large investment in equipment, and are difficult to adapt to the spherical structure of rudder bulbs.
