Low-Temperature Steels: ASTM A333 Gr. 6, 9Ni Steel, and Austenitic 304/316L resist embrittlement at -196°C to -253°C.
-
Charpy Impact Testing: Ensures fracture toughness under extreme cold conditions.
-
Weld Seam Elimination: Seamless construction reduces brittle fracture risk in cryogenic storage and transfer pipelines.
