The whole hull of a ship gets thick coats of paint and protective coatings — yet the huge propeller is often left bare. Why? To answer that, we follow the engineering path from plain steel to stainless steel, manganese bronze and finally nickel-aluminium bronze — and look at cavitation erosion, marine fouling and why antifouling paint doesn't survive on a propeller blade. For entertainment purposes only. #MarineEngineering #MerchantNavy #ShipPropeller
