MEP WRITTEN NOTES

1. Purpose of Sacrificial anodes to save the metal

2. Composition of Brass, Bronze, Aluminum Bronze
Brass = 70 copper + 30 zinc
Bronze = 88 copper + 12 tin
Gunmetal = 88 copper + 10 tin + 2 zinc
3. Aluminum bronze = aluminum + copper + tin
4. Weight of rudder acts on rudder carrier bearing
5. Rudder clearance can be measured by trammel
6. What is jumping clearance between the rudder pad and rudder stock
7. When zinc is added to mild steel zinc act as a sacrificial anode
8. Direction of a gear pump depends on prime mover
9. For ME LO P/P, centrifugal type is used quantity of discharge is more
10. method of improving corrosion resistance of metal by adding chromium by metal diffusion
is called chromising
11. why metal cladding is better method of improving strength - Material is thick compare to
the other method.
12. impingement is which type of corrosion - erosion corrosion
13. what kind of corrosion if outlet of heat exchanger throttled n der is turbulence in HX
errosion
14. In bilge line, discharge line goes to where(whether OBD or shore connection or OWS)
15. Galvanic series s as follows Graphite, Au, Ag, Titanium, Ni, Cu, Tin, Bronze, Pb,
Stainless steel, Cast iron, Mild steel, Cd, Al, Zn, Mg(least noble). Aluminium will corrode
faster than stainless steel
16. Bimetallic corrosion is the accelerated corrosion of one metal placed in contact with a
different more noble (less corroding) metal.
17. Sherardising, Chromising, Calorising = Metal diffusion
A. Sherardising = addition of zinc coating
B. Chromising = addition of chromium coating

C. Calorising = addition of aluminium coating

Corrosion resistance:
A.
B.
C.
D.

Hot dipping Zinc is used for this process and aluminium also (0.1mm thickness)
Metal spraying Zinc and aluminimum
Electro plating zinc , cadmium
Metel cladding

18. When the two metal (dissimilar) placed in electrical continuity are placed in an electrolyte
that type of corrosion called Bimetallic corrosion or galvanic corrossion
19. Cadmium coatings electro plating
20. Dezincification.removal of zinc frm brass..
21. Carbonizing or case hardening- graphite atmosphere..adding carbon..
22 .Chromising- addition of chromium coating..
23 .Cargo pump discharge y throttled- maintain backpressure
24 .Coating n welding rodcarbonates and silicates
25. Sea Water pump air leak gland packing scoring
26 .v/v seats 2 seats-gate and ball.
27 .rotating type.butterfly, ball
28. Anodic protection using zinc anode

Zinc is insulated to hull

Zinc is in electrical contunity to hull

29. Bimetallic corrosion internally happens in an alloy

Impingment corrosion

30. The dipping of aluminum on metal by electroplating is known as Aluminizing
