| Parameter / Process | Specification & Technical Highlights | Customer Benefits / Value |
| Material | Grade 17-4PH Stainless Steel (Precipitation-Hardening) | Provides ultimate yield strength, high hardness, and premium fatigue limits to withstand extreme hydrodynamic forces and severe seawater cavitation. |
| Application Scenario | Shipbuilding / Luxury Yachts / Speedboats & Marine Propulsion Systems | Optimized to deliver maximum thrust efficiency, exceptional durability, and corrosion resistance for marine high-speed operations. |
| Unit Weight | 2.78 kg | Light, strength-optimized geometric design engineered for high-RPM propulsion response. |
| Tooling & Assembly | Specialized Part-By-Part Wax Pattern Assembly | Overcomes multi-curved blade geometry limitations; proprietary shaping tooling guarantees consistent hydrodynamic blade thickness. |
| Pouring System | Advanced Multi-Gate Gating System | Multi-point molten steel routing ensures absolute metal density, eliminating internal air entrapment or shrinkage cracks across thin-to-thick blade transitions. |
| Surface Finish | Flawless Fully Mirror Polished | Significantly minimizes fluid drag friction, reduces marine growth adhesion, and increases fuel economy. |
| Dynamic Stability | Precision Dynamic Balancing Performed | Eliminates rotational micro-vibrations, protects vessel drivetrain shafts, and curtails cavitation acoustics. |
| Casting Tolerance | ISO 8062 (GB/T6414) CT6 Grade | High near-net-shape accuracy simplifies keyway boring and hub-to-shaft mating alignment. |
Propellers operate under constant cyclic loading and high shear stress. To avoid catastrophic blade failure out at sea, every unit undergoes elite quality metrics:
This 3‑bladed propeller is presented as a representative custom‑manufactured component for Shipbuilding; Luxury yachts; Speedboats; Marine propulsion systems Honyang Cast develops similar parts from customer drawings rather than offering a fixed catalog specification.
The manufacturing plan must connect the part's functional geometry—Three‑blade propeller; Multi‑curved blade geometry; Hub‑to‑blade thin/thick transitions—with tooling, investment casting, machining and measurable inspection requirements. Final dimensions, interfaces and acceptance criteria are confirmed during drawing review.
PROJECT‑SPECIFIC SUPPLY
Material grade, dimensions, tolerance zones, machining allowance, surface condition, operating requirements and inspection records are confirmed after review of the customer’s 2D drawing, 3D model and project specification.
The parameter set is selected for this component’s function. Unknown values remain drawing‑controlled and must not be replaced with generic catalog data.

| Structural Feature | Why It Matters | Manufacturing Response |
|---|---|---|
| Three‑blade propeller | This feature influences fit, flow, load transfer, manufacturability or downstream assembly. | Control profile geometry, section transitions, hub or mounting interfaces, and balance‑related features according to the approved drawing. |
| Multi‑curved blade geometry | This feature influences fit, flow, load transfer, manufacturability or downstream assembly. | Control profile geometry, section transitions, hub or mounting interfaces, and balance‑related features according to the approved drawing. |
| Hub‑to‑blade thin/thick transitions | This feature influences fit, flow, load transfer, manufacturability or downstream assembly. | Control profile geometry, section transitions, hub or mounting interfaces, and balance‑related features according to the approved drawing. |

A project‑specific route is established after review of geometry, alloy, tolerance, volume and validation requirements.

PROCESS SCOPE
Investment casting and CNC machining are described as the core route. Heat treatment, coating, polishing, balancing, pressure testing, radiographic testing, PPAP or other special processes must be shown as project‑specific unless their scope is confirmed.
Honyang Cast supports drawing‑based development of 3‑bladed propeller and related investment cast components from manufacturability review through sample approval and repeat production.
| Application Requirement | Manufacturing Value |
|---|---|
| Drawing‑defined fit and function | A part‑specific DFM and inspection plan links casting geometry to the actual assembly and operating requirement. |
| Integrated complex geometry | Investment casting can consolidate features and reduce fabrication or excessive stock removal where the approved design supports it. |
| Repeatable critical interfaces | Controlled datums, machining and inspection support consistent assembly of functional surfaces and mating features. |
| Material and process traceability | Agreed material and inspection records provide evidence against the drawing and quality plan. |
| Product‑specific value | Responsive marine propulsion; Reduced rotational vibration; Simplified shaft mating |
