Abstract
AISI 304 stainless steels are the most widely used structural alloys in cryogenic service. To the cryogenic engineer they offer good fracture toughness, good fatigue properties, and adequate strength at 4 K. Additionally, their paramagnetism and corrosion resistance are often desirable properties. Recently 304 stainless steels have been used in superconducting magnet structures for magnetic fusion energy devices. Large amounts of steel are required in these structures, for example nearly 300 tonnes of AISI 304LN were used in the yin-yang magnet cases for the Mirror Fusion Test Facility at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
