Naval engineering is a specialized manufacturing system that integrates modern engineering technology with traditional shipbuilding expertise. It encompasses the entire process of ship design, construction, outfitting, and testing, and determines a vessel's performance, quality, and service life. Characterized by complex system integration, stringent precision control, and the use of specialized materials, naval engineering plays a crucial role in civil shipping and marine engineering.
The distinctive features of naval engineering are reflected in its manufacturing requirements. Different ship types require specialized welding techniques. The anti-corrosion process encompasses over 20 steps, from nano-silane pretreatment to sacrificial anode protection, ensuring the vessel's structural integrity for over 30 years in salt spray environments. Vibration and noise reduction technologies, through raft isolation and acoustic optimization, enable research vessels to meet stringent underwater noise standards of no more than 100 decibels.
The application of this technology has expanded beyond traditional shipbuilding to diverse fields. In the manufacturing of marine engineering equipment, the overall lifting process of the jacket platform achieves millimeter-level docking accuracy for structures weighing tens of thousands of tons; in the field of military ships, the radar wave absorbing coating and the external angle bending process of stealth ships significantly improve their battlefield survivability; in terms of green ships, the dynamic positioning system integration process of wind power installation vessels ensures stable operation in complex sea conditions.
