Thermal spraying and machining for shipbuilding-related applications.

To enhance the output of the engine, which is the power source of the ship, a turbocharger is essential. When considering a voyage from America to Japan, ships equipped with turbochargers achieve a 3% improvement in fuel efficiency. While 3% may seem small, it translates to a reduction of several thousand liters of fuel. Kurashiki Boring Machine Works also engages in thermal spraying and machining for marine equipment. Here, we will introduce the polishing process of the rotor, which is at the core of the turbocharger.
