A 5% nickel steel that behaves like 9%, cuts the cost of shipping LNG

For liquefied natural gas containment, this new Armco alloy, CRYONIC 5™, does what 9% nickel steel does— only cheaper. Armco CRYONIC 5 Steel contains just 5% nickel, yet provides toughness properties similar to 9% nickel steel. It sells for almost 20% less.

The low cost is a result of reduced nickel content. To achieve the toughness requirements of ASTM A 553,

Armco research metallurgists have developed a unique heat treatment—for which patent application has been made.

The result is a product ideally suited to the special needs of LNG (Liquefied natural gas) shipment and con- tainment. It's readily weldable, strong, tough and low in cost. And it comes at a time when marine architects and shipbuilders can put its advantages to work immediately.
