Our treatments on boats, yachts and ships

Welding Tig, Mig, electrode

Specializing in various welding techniques, our metal naval carpentry company excels in Tig, Mig, and electrode welding. Tig (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding employs an inert gas and a tungsten probe to fuse base materials. Mig (Metal Inert Gas) welding utilizes an inert gas, such as argon, to shield the welding zone while feeding welding wire through the torch. Lastly, electrode welding involves a range of carbon-based, mild steel, or stainless steel electrodes to meld materials. These welding methods enable us to produce high-quality welds, ensuring the strength and durability of our metal shipbuilding.

Mirror and Scotch-brite polishing

Our metal carpentry company is dedicated to delivering the best possible results to our customers. For this reason, we place a strong emphasis on the quality of the finish for our products. We offer mirror and Scotch-brite polishing services to ensure impeccable appearances for our metal shipbuildings.

Mirror polishing is a technique that produces a highly reflective and glossy finish, ideal for the exterior parts of a ship or vessel. In contrast, Scotch-brite employs a non-woven abrasive to create a satin finish on the metal’s surface, making it perfect for interior components and providing a modern aesthetic.

With these polishing services, we provide our customers with the perfect finishing touches for their metal shipbuilding projects, ensuring enhanced weather resistance and a longer lifespan.

Oxyacetylene cutting

Oxyacetylene cutting is a frequently employed metal cutting method in naval metal carpentry. This technique relies on an oxyacetylene flame, generated through the combustion of acetylene gas and oxygen, enabling the attainment of high temperatures for the metal to be cut. Due to its versatility, oxyacetylene cutting can be applied to a wide range of metal shapes and thicknesses, making it an ideal choice for numerous marine carpentry applications. Our company excels in delivering high-quality oxyacetylene cutting services, ensuring precise and dependable results to meet the requirements of our customers.

Calendering of sheet metal

Sheet metal calendering is a plastic deformation process where a sheet of metal is passed between two rollers with varying diameters, resulting in the desired curvature of the sheet metal. This method proves especially valuable in metal ship carpentry, where precise and uniform curvature of sheet metal is essential to ensure the safety and efficiency of ship structures.

Our company boasts years of experience in sheet metal calendering for the manufacturing of ship parts and components with diverse sizes and specifications. We employ advanced machinery and a team of highly skilled professionals to guarantee high-quality outcomes and fulfill our customers’ requirements.

Calendering of pipes and profiles

Pipe and profile calendering is a pivotal operation in the realm of metal ship carpentry. This technique enables the bending of metal pipes and profiles of various sizes and thicknesses, yielding precise and customized shapes for specific applications. Calendering is executed with precision machinery, ensuring consistent and fold-free curvatures, resulting in a flawless and long-lasting finish. Drawing from our extensive experience and expertise in ship carpentry, we provide high-quality calendering services to meet the demands of our customers.

Sheet metal die-bunging

Sheet metal die bending is a crucial operation conducted by our metal carpentry company. With our proficiency and cutting-edge equipment, we have the capability to bend and shape sheets of varying sizes and thicknesses, producing precise and dependable parts and components for ships. Our team of expert technicians and engineers excel in precision and accuracy, guaranteeing the quality of the end product. We take pride in providing our customers with a high-quality die bending service that caters to their unique design and manufacturing requirements.

Anodising

Anodizing is a surface treatment process that can be applied to metal materials, including aluminum used in ship carpentry. The process involves immersing the metal object in an electrolytic solution and applying an electric current to create a protective oxide layer on the surface. This oxide layer provides corrosion resistance properties and enhances the hardness and strength of the object. Additionally, anodization can improve the aesthetic appearance of the material, offering a wide range of colors and finishes to meet the customer’s aesthetic preferences. In the field of ship carpentry, anodizing can be employed to protect metal components of ships from saltwater and wear due to exposure to external elements.

Sandblasting and powder coating

Sandblasting and powder coating are two essential processes in the production of components for metal ship carpentry. Sandblasting is used to eliminate dirt, corrosion, and surface imperfections, preparing the material for the subsequent powder coating step. On the other hand, powder coating safeguards the metal surface against corrosion and wear, ensuring increased durability and strength of the final product. Leveraging advanced technology within our company, we provide a high-quality sandblasting and powder coating service, guaranteeing a lasting and robust end result.

Hot dip galvanising and powder coating

Hot dip galvanizing and powder coating are two surface treatment processes offered by our metal ship carpentry company to protect and enhance the durability of metal components on ships. Hot dip galvanizing involves immersing the metal object in a high-temperature molten zinc bath, resulting in the formation of a zinc alloy layer on the object’s surface. This layer provides long-lasting protection against corrosion and wear caused by the marine environment.

In contrast, powder coating entails the application of epoxy resin powder to the metal object’s surface. The powder is applied using an electrostatic spraying process and is then heated to create a solid, durable finish. This process offers effective protection against corrosion, wear, and discoloration caused by exposure to external elements. Together, hot dip galvanizing and powder coating provide comprehensive and durable protection for ship metal components, enhancing their resilience and strength in the challenging marine environment.
