Low temperature steel for liquefied gas carrier

As a natural resource, liquefied gas is unevenly distributed between regions. International transportation is mainly carried out by special transport ships for liquefied gas, including LPG ships and LNG ships. With the rapid development of the LNG industry, the research and development of 9Ni low-temperature steel continues to rise. The storage temperature of LNG is -163℃. The 9Ni steel used for the inner wall of the LNG storage tank is required to have high strength, good low-temperature toughness and small fluctuations.

Another important low-temperature steel is Invar alloy for LNG ships. Invar alloy thin strip is an essential material for thin-film LNG ships and is used in cargo hold containment systems. Invar alloy is Ni=36%, the coefficient of thermal expansion is very low, can maintain a fixed size in a wide temperature range, suitable for temperature changes from room temperature to -163℃. As the shipyards have accepted orders for multiple LNG ships, there is an urgent need for the localization of Invar alloys.
