Shaft Sleeves
Large ships employ a sacrificial sleeve on shafting as a wear surface. Alloy selection and the homogenous grain structure of a centrifugal for this application provides even wear of the sleeve, saves hundreds of thousands of dollars in maintenance cost over the lifetime of the ship, and has made MetalTek the world's leading producer of naval shaft sleeves.
