Abstract
Nickel-containing steels are frequently selected for use at cryogenic temperatures because of their excellent toughness or strengths. For example, 304 stainless steel containing 8% Ni is characterized by very high toughness at cryogenic temperatures, but has relatively low strength. In contrast, 18% Ni, 200 grade, maraging steel is characterized by very high strengths at cryogenic temperatures, but with a penalty of reduced toughness. Similarly, 9% Ni steel is characterized by good toughness and moderate strength at cryogenic temperatures, while 9Ni-4Co steel has greater strength, but substantially lower toughness in the same temperature range.
