A NEW ALLOY STEEL FOR MARINE CRYOGENIC APPLICATIONS

The authors describe a new five percent nickel steel which is currently being considered for marine cryogenic applications involving the transport of liquefied ethylene and methane. The alloy combined with a unique heat treatment develops both high strength and good notch toughness properties at temperatures below--150 F. Results of weld tests are presented which show that filler metals and processes used for nine percent nickel steel produce adequate joint properties with this new economical alloy.
