Of course, there are other important economic considerations in selecting LNG containment tank material—weldability, for exam- ple. CRYONIC 5, like 9% nickel can be joined by all commonly used welding procedures—manual, submerged-arc and gas metal- arc welding. There's more, so we are asking you to send for our new catalog "Cryogenic Steels for Exceptional Performance."

It contains detailed information on metallurgical and mechanical properties, notch toughness, fracture toughness, fatigue and spe- cial thermal cycling properties and a large section on welding.

Other data invites comparisons of CRYONIC 5, 9% nickel steel, 5083-0 aluminum and stainless steels used in cryogenic service.

We have the data that will show you why Armco CRYONIC 5

Steel's combination of strength, toughness and lower cost makes it the logical material for LNG shipboard containment tanks. Mail the coupon and convince yourself it really is a breakthrough.
