Int'l Nickel Holds 3-Day Shipbuilding Materials Conference Some 75 materials experts, ma- rine engineers and naval architects gathered on September 14 for the opening session of International Nickel's 1970 Shipbuilding Ma- terials Conference. Representatives of shipbuilding, shipping and sup- porting industries participated in three days of informal sessions to exchange techniques and experi- ences involving new developments in marine materials and their fabri- cation. "There have been exciting de- velopments since our last confer- ence in 1968," said Arthur H. Tut- hill, marine industries manager in Inco's market development depart- ment. "The icebreaker tanker had captured wide attention, and dis- cussions were held on their pro- pellers as well as steels for ice-belt and main-deck use." Main topics for discussion in- cluded seawater cooling systems, propellers, improved hull plate steel, cryogenic plate steels, and cryogenic membranes. Hydrofoils, gas turbines and copper-nickel hulls were included in a special topics forum. Sessions were held at the Blockade Runner Motor A, The next time your ship needs repairs, DON'T give it a second thought. Bring it to us.
