Abstract

The paper presents the new original method of curing chocks cast in EPY pourable compound, by use of microwaves. It specifies also the outcome of tests conducted with EPY specimens and with full-scale chocks cast in the compound and cured by use of microwaves. The method developed reduces considerably chock curing time, enforces economy in use of energy and improves strength properties of the chocks cured by use of microwaves as compared with those resulting from application of conventional curing method based on thermal post heating 1 Introduction Mounting of marine machinery and arrangements especially ships propulsion engines, is effected now all over the world also by Polish shipbuilders and r
