Abstract

The article provides the analysis of new anti-friction synthetic materials used in new structural elements currently applied in shipbuilding. Benefits and drawbacks of applying these materials have been covered, their physical and mechanical properties have also been discussed. The article covers the materials produced both by Russian companies and companies abroad, drawing the comparison between their respective anti-friction redundancy. The article provides the peculiarities of binary surface (a surface formed with two different materials) application with expected friction. Structural arrangement of binary surfaces have been given for plain bearings. In addition, the article lists factors that could influence the safe application of new materials in ship stern bearings. The article is based on the research work commissioned and financed by RS.

Keywords: antifriction materials, shipboard stern bearings, synthetic materials, shipbuilding, ship repair.
