A propeller has been considered as one of the most critical elements in propelling ships. However, only a little research on the marine propeller has been carried out. Furthermore, fractures of the propeller have been frequently caused by fatigue, but only tensile strength, yield strength and elongation are discussed in Register of Shipping. For the above reasons, we have evaluated strength properties of A1BC3 and HBsC1, both which have been used for the marine propeller by using air jet chisel and then, presented a method of improving the strength.

The strength data on AlBC3 and HBsC1 which are used for materials of marine propeller blade are insufficient as used of material limited and even rules of KR(Korean Register of Shipping) describe only a point of view that the chemical composition and men values of mechanical proper-ties have to be certain level. In this study distribution characteristics as well as mean values of mechanical properties are investigated through the tensile test and the characteristics of fatigue strength are investigated through the fatigue test.

It is inevitable that corrosion pits have occurred on the marine propeller. If corrosion pits have occurred on the blades, they have been repaired by simple welding methods. It must be that the strength is degraded in this process. In this paper, we analyzed and compared the strength of A1BC3 and HBsCl used for marine propeller after repairing the artificial pit by several different methods.
