In this paper, shields made of 1.3964 stainless steel bonded to a fiber laminate were subjected to ballistic impact response of 7.62 × 51 mm ŁPS (light projectile with a lead core) projectiles. Additionally, between the steel sheet metal and the laminate, a liquid-filled bag was placed, which was a mixture of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2) with 5 wt.% SiO2 nanopowder. Numerical modeling of the projectile penetrating the samples was carried out using the finite element method in the Abaqus program. The elasto-plastic behavior of the projectile material and the component layers of the shields was taken into account. Projectile penetration through glycol-filled bag has been performed using the smooth particle hydrodynamics technique. The morphology of the penetration channel was also analyzed using a scanning electron microscope. For the shield variant with a glycol-filled bag between the steel and laminate plates, the inlet speed of projectile was 834 m/s on average, and 366 m/s behind the sample. For the variant where there was no glycol-filled bag between the steel and laminate plates, the inlet and outlet average velocities were 836 m/s, after 481 m/s, respectively. Referring to the steel-glycol-laminate and steel-laminate variants, it can be concluded that the laminate-glycol-laminate is more effective.
This paper presents the results of research on adhesive joints durability properties of ship austenitic steel done with the use of the latest adhesives -glues: a composite one from Belzona company, described as 1111 and 1212 as well as a Hysol 9466 adhesive, produced by Hysol. The 1.4301 (304) and 1.3964 (2xx) steels used for shipbuilding were single-lap adhesive joint, with varying degree of edges' chamfering and offsetting (with a deflection). This type of alternative connections will provide protection and temporary structure's protection in case of emergency cracking (due to corrosion or an impact) of the examined steel or welded joints of the ship's construction and hull's sheathings. The adhesive joints of the tested steel were made in laboratory conditions (according to the technological card) as well as outside the laboratory, hereinafter called as the emergency ones with the use of Belzon 1212. Adhesive joints of 304 and 2xx steel using Hysol 9466 adhesive made in laboratory conditions showed better durability properties than the ones made with the use of Belzona 1111 composite. However, in case of emergency connections the bonding strength as well as the bonding time (hardening) are important factors. The use of the special Belzona 1212 (for wet surfaces) gives a relatively good durability of approx. 20MPa with a much shorter (up to 20 minutes) hardening time and does not require such an accurate surface preparation as the adhesive joints made with the use of Hysol 9466.
The article presents the investigation results on possibility of electrochemical corrosion monitoring of the 1.3964 steel used for ship construction according of the patent Pl 216723. The patent's assumption describes the method of on-line registration of electrochemical potential specifying the protective effectiveness of a thin oxide layer formed spontaneously on the steel surface. Essentials drop of the potential's value with respect to the stationary one indicates layer cracking and initiation of pitting corrosion. Such a corrosion can be initiated by salinity and temperature of seawater and/or by a mechanical factor (strain). The carried out measurements of the potential and mechanicalelectrochemical teats made it possible to determine the stress level causing the crack of oxide layer and initiation of corrosion processes in the steel. Thereby, the mechanical properties (Rm and A5) thin passive oxide layers investigated steel. Application of Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) in the laboratory allows monitoring of weakness (stratification) of the film as a stage preceding to fracture [1, 2]. Stress cracking of the protective oxide layer on the 1.3964 steel takes place beyond the exploitation zone (above the tensile strength) and there is no indication to monitor the corrosion resistance on ship construction made of this stainless steel. However, in specific cases when temperature of the steel exceeds 40 o C, application of the monitoring may be justified.
