Audit-Ready File Formats

Export certification packages in formats compatible with ABS, DNV, BV, and IACS software to streamline inspection and recertification workflows. 

Marine & Shipbuilding

Ensure Weld Stability Across Dissimilar Marine Alloys

Joining dissimilar metals in marine structures requires metallurgical compatibility, weld zone control, and post-weld property restoration. 

Alloy Interface Conditioning

Modify chemistries (e.g., Mn:S ratio tuning) to stabilize fusion lines and reduce risk of heat-affected zone cracking. 

Fusion Zone Design

Machine custom bevel geometries and apply inert gas shielding to limit oxidation and intergranular corrosion at the weld seam. 

Post-Weld Heat Treatment Control

Use alloy-specific TTT diagrams to restore ductility and microstructural uniformity across complex dissimilar joints. 

Marine & Shipbuilding

Optimize Vibration Resistance in Marine Drive Systems

Vibration fatigue in propulsion and auxiliary systems requires tuned geometry and damping integration to prevent resonance-induced failure. 

Modal-Driven Geometry Tuning

Conduct harmonic response analysis using ODS data to avoid natural frequency alignment with operational loads.

Cast-In Damping Features

Integrate structural ribs and tuned mass dampers during casting to reduce acoustic and mechanical vibration transfer. 

Material Damping Optimization

Select alloy grades with high internal damping coefficients to mitigate torsional oscillation and surface fatigue.

Having Doubts? Our FAQ

Check all our Frequently Asked Questions

How does Frigate control shrinkage defects in large marine castings?

Frigate uses solidification simulation software to predict hot spots and shrinkage-prone areas in complex marine components. Based on simulation data, chill placements and riser dimensions are optimized to ensure directional solidification. In-mold thermocouples monitor real-time cooling curves during pouring to control thermal gradients. This reduces centerline shrinkage and internal voids in heavy cross-section castings.

What steps does Frigate take to ensure weldability between bronze and stainless steel in ship assemblies?

Frigate carefully selects compatible filler materials and modifies alloy chemistries to balance thermal expansion differences. Joint designs are customized using precise weld bevel angles to control heat input. Inert gas shielding and interpass temperature controls are applied during welding to prevent intergranular corrosion. Post-weld heat treatments are tailored using material-specific TTT diagrams to restore microstructure and toughness.

How does Frigate validate fatigue resistance in components exposed to wave-induced loads?

Frigate subjects forged and cast parts to high-cycle fatigue testing using wave spectrum loading based on OCIMF and DNV standards. Grain flow in forgings is aligned with principal stress directions to suppress crack initiation. Shot peening or laser peening is applied to induce compressive stress layers on critical surfaces. Fatigue life predictions are supported by FEA models using real-world loading histories. 

Can Frigate provide digital traceability down to the heat and part level for classification audits?

Yes. Frigate encodes each part with a digital ID that links to a full traceability database. This includes melt chemistry, mechanical test results, thermal history, and NDT reports. All data is stored in audit-friendly formats accepted by ABS, DNV, and BV systems. Each part's trace data remains accessible for over 15 years, supporting future inspections and warranty claims. 

What techniques does Frigate use to prevent vibration failure in marine pump housings and gear brackets?

Frigate performs harmonic response analysis to avoid resonance with shipboard machinery frequencies. Cast geometries are tuned based on modal analysis to shift natural frequencies away from operational ranges. Where necessary, ribs and damping features are built into the casting itself. Material selection also considers internal damping capacity to reduce vibration transmission and surface fatigue.
