Prospects for Producing Special Cold-Resistant Economically Alloyed Nickel Ferritic Steel for Liquefied Natural Gas Storage and Transportation Vessels

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

Ferritic steels are developed economically alloyed with nickel (up to 7%) with increased strength and low-temperature toughness for the manufacture of liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks. Results are provided for a study of the steel mechanical properties, cold resistance, and microstructure. It is shown that the achievement of a high level of cold resistance with a reduction in nickel content is possible by means of additional alloying with copper, microalloying with carbide-forming elements, and a change in heat treatment regime.
