Novel Economically Alloyed Steel for Liquefied Natural Gas Equipment and its Heat Treatment Regime

  • STRUCTURAL STEELS
  • Published:
Metal Science and Heat Treatment Aims and scope

Heat treatment is developed for commercial rolled thick sheets of cryogenic steel for liquefied natural gas equipment. It is shown that treatment guarantees the required mechanical and tribological properties. Performance specifications for rolled thick sheets are developed. Rolled sheets with thickness up to 50 mm are produced for the first time within the Russian Federation from cryogenic steel type 0N6 with additional copper alloying guaranteeing good operating properties and reliability for cryogenic devices and tanks operating down to –196°C.
