A Review of the Development of Ferritic Consumables for the Welding of 9%-Nickel Steel: Research in the United States and Japan

  • Chapter
Advances in Cryogenic Engineering Materials

Abstract

Since its development in 1944 by the International Nickel Company, 9%-Ni steel has been extensively used for the manufacture of liquefied-gas containment vessels. Its excellent toughness [1–8], strength [1,2,9], and fatigue [10–12] properties make it suitable for use at temperatures as low as 77 K. Table I gives the composition and mechanical properties of a typical quenched and tempered 9%-Ni plate (A553 Gr. A). The tempered martensitic structure of this steel, which contains about 7 to 10% retained austenite, produces good toughness with mixed-mode fracture at liquid nitrogen temperature. Further improvement of the properties of the plate can be obtained by grain refinement procedures [13,14].
