Leningrad: Shipbuilding, 1990. - 312 s. The issues of production of basic structural metal materials and consumer properties of materials used in shipbuilding: steels and light alloys, insulating and paint materials, wood, plastics, cement-based composite materials. Detailed rules for the order and delivery of steel blanks. This edition takes into account changes in the use of materials for the manufacture of ship hull structures related to the experience of design, as well as the construction of ships and floating structures. The requirements for the materials of the hulls of ships of the Arctic navigation . The growth of the size of ships, their connections and cladding required new tests of shipbuilding materials, which is also taken into account in the manual .. Over the past two decades, the range of non-metallic materials for insulation, decoration, and finishing of body structures has changed in many ways. Therefore, the authors considered it necessary to provide detailed information about such materials .. The manual combines for the first time the material of two disciplines presented to students at different stages of training: "Technology of structural materials" and "Shipbuilding materials" The order of presentation of the sections of the programs of these disciplines in the book is preserved, which is due to the principle of continuity and continuity of learning . Particular attention in most chapters of the manual is paid to the classification of shipbuilding materials, which allows the reader to understand the content of the book, as well as the logic of using the material in the design and construction of the ship. The manual is intended for students studying specialty No. 14 . 01 "Shipbuilding", and can be used by students of other specialties of shipbuilding universities and faculties, students of shipbuilding technical schools, as well as engineering and technical workers of the shipbuilding industry . It can also be useful for engineers and specialists in the field of shipbuilding.
