The Material of Chocks
Marine chocks are typically made from Cast Steel that can withstand harsh marine environments and the stresses involved in mooring and towing operations.
Overview
Cast Steel:
Marine chock is made of steel casting material having a yield point of not less than 235 N/mm2 or equivalent. The carbon contents of the steel casting shall not be more than 0.23 % considering weldability. There are no visible flaws or imperfections on the surface, and without roughness or irregularities in contact with the rope will damage the rope due to wear.This is a common material for marine chocks due to its high strength and durability. Cast steel chocks can handle significant loads and are resistant to impact and wear.
