All are installed on the electrical cabinet panel of powder-coated steel to withstand the harsh effects of the marine environment. The steering gear is installed under the steering gear tunnel.
The adaptive steering system is used to stably control the ship's course in autopilot mode and improve the control quality thanks to the adaptive algorithm. The steering control part has the function of creating the set course and receiving the actual direction of the train through the onboard electric compass. The system processes the deviation signal between the set and actual directions through a digital adaptive algorithm and outputs a control signal to the steering machine .

The results of the organizational analysis substantiated the research results on mechanical properties and corrosion. The organizational research results show the following:
* Microorganism after casting: The structure of the alloy includes the α phase and the mixture of (α+γ 2 ) mainly. The approximate proportion of the α phase in the studied alloy is 80% and the γ phase is 17%. Dimensions of the α phase after casting of CuAl9Fe4 alloy is 100µm; of CuAl9Fe4Ni2 alloy is 90µm. In addition, in the organization of CuAl9Fe4 alloy Fe 3 Al intermetallic phases appeared with a phase fraction of 2.2%; has a fine small size of about 4 µm and is evenly dispersed in the alloy's organization. The CuAl9Fe4Ni2 alloy has an alternating NiAl intermetallic phase in the phase regions and has a phase fraction of 2.3% with a size of about 3-4 µm.
* Formation of phase after aging: For alloy grade CuAl9Fe4 , change the aging temperature at the temperature range of 350 o C; 450 o C and 550 o C over a period of 02 hours showed that the fraction of α phase increased from 54% in the 350 o C regime to 67% in the 550 o C aging mode. As for the CuAl9Fe4Ni2 alloy grade. aging temperature changes at the temperature range of 350 o C; 450 o C and 550 o C over a period of 02 hours shows that: fraction of α phase increases from 65% at 350 o C mode to 75% at 550 o C aging mode. This shows that with increasing temperature aging the martensite decay process after treating increased.
* Identification of martensite and intermetallic phase : TEM analysis of the thesis proved the existence of martensite β' hcp structure with formula Cu 3 Al. At the same time, it also proves that the intermetallic phases formed during the phase transition such as Fe 3 Al.
For the purpose of applying martensite transformation to increase the wear resistance of two grades of research, the topic has determined the relationship of hardness depending on temperature and aging time of two alloy grades:
- CuAl9Fe4 :
HRB 94 = -6.6614+0.3945.T+27.3897.t -0.0005.T 2 -4.5287.t 2 -0.0213.Tt
The mass loss value in the condition of alloy sample research, in the hardness testing modes shows the same variation, the smallest mass defect is m 94 = 0.1239g at the vicinity of the extreme point of the hardness.
- CuAl9Fe4Ni2 :
HRB 942 = -57.7267+0.7386.T+22.45.t -0.0009.T 2 -2.605.t 2 -0.0307.Tt

Description of the project/product :
Applying spinodal decomposition theory based on the spinodal transformation region of the alloy system, the project is to research and fabricate a successful heat treatment for Cu-Ni-Sn alloy in three different composition regions: Cu-9Ni-3Sn and Cu-9Ni-6Sn.
- Cu-9Ni-3Sn alloy system is treated with the following process:
Homogenize and quench at 850 0 C;
Hot deformation to specified size then cold deformation 40%;
Aging at 350 0 C for 2 h.
After treatment the strength value increases to over 1000MPa (strength value is equivalent to Cu-Be), hardness value 20HRC, elongation 8%, electrical conductivity about 14%ICAs perfectly in accordance with the contact details.
- For Cu-9Ni-6Sn alloy system treated with the following process:
Homogenize and quench at 850 0 C;
Hot deformation to specified size then cold deformation 40%;
Aging at 3500C for 2h.
After processing the strength value increases above 1200MPa (strength value is equivalent to Cu-Be), hardness value above 26HRC, conductivity 8%ICAs of this alloy can also be applied to the components. Details make electrical contacts, shaft bearings have high elasticity.
During the research, it was discovered that with the Cu, Ni, and Sn functions as above, after heat treatment, the hardness value increases but at a certain temperature the hardness value decreases. By scientific research methods (DSC analysis, Xray analysis, FESEM imaging, mapping) it has been discovered that the alloy has spinodal decomposition that helps the strong strengthening process: the process of strengthening by small particles with function amount of Cu-9Ni-3Sn; Cu-9Ni-6Sn.
When conducting deformation and aging of Cu-9Ni-3Sn alloy; Cu-9Ni-6Sn, strength and hardness values increase strongly because in addition to spinodal decomposition, there is also a combination with small grain deformation process. In this case there is a combination of strain-strengthening and spinodal-strengthening effects.
