Due to the extensive amount of metallic materials in the industry, the analyzes and comments will be applied to the common plans and equipments existing in the squares of merchant vessels. For this, the characteristics and properties of these metals will be highlighted, presenting the most relevant peculiarities that justify the wide use on board, and also, to link the materials to their different utilities differentiating them from each other. In this way, it is intended to increase the learning of this topic to those who are interested in studying more deeply the use of metals in the machine environment and to know a little more the peculiarities of these materials.
