First, the containment tank material is of critical importance. Armco CRYONIC 5 Steel may be the answer. It's economical —20% lower in cost than 9% Nickel Steel. It's tough —meets these minimum Charpy V-Notch val- ues at —275 F: 25 ft-lbs longitudinal, 20 ft-

Ibs transverse. It's weldable —can be joined to other nickel-alloy steels, carbon steels and austenitic stainless steels by all com- monly used welding processes. It's strong — included in the ASME Boiler and Pressure

Vessel Code as SA-645 with an allowable design stress of 23,700 psi at room temperai ture. This combination of strength, tough- ness, weldability and economy make Armco

CRYONIC 5 Steel the logical material for

LNG containment tanks.

Second, what about shell and deck plat- ing, framing and beams and the rest of the

E, DH and EH, Armco provides a broad array of Heat-Treated Carbon Steels for ship- building applications.

For example, Armco QTC is used exten- sively in the scantlings of LASH vessels;

Armco LTM-QT for the hull of the icebreak- ing Coast Guard cutter, Polar Star. Others, such as Armco LTM-N, Lo-Temp, and Super- 14 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
