Bow thrusters and other components used close quarters navigation of large ships, require a strong corrosion-resistant alloys. Add to that severe stresses and complex shaping requirements and you’ll need a manufacturer who can cast components to your unique specifications. MetalTek’s alloy expertise and range of materials shaping capabilities make us the logical choice to manufacture your bow thruster components.
While MetalTek can cast components used in bow thrusters in a variety of ways, the corrosion resistance required for dealing with sea water over a long period of time often dictates use of nickel aluminum bronze alloys. Thrusters must perform for a long time, and we have the alloys that provide the structural integrity demanded.
