Report on Corrosion of a Propeller Shaft Sleeve

Abstract

The sleeve of the propeller shaft of the T.S. Shintoku Maru was renewed due to corrosion found over its surface on the occasion of her third regular inspection in February 1975.
For reader's reference, this paper covers a detailed report of the said renewal case and a consideration on it on the basis of material test results of the removed sleeve and some data collected from other cases of identical trouble.
