An Improved Method for Deriving the Heat Source Model for FCAW of 9% Nickel Steel for Cryogenic Tanks.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is tightening regulations on air pollutants. Consequently, more LNG-powered ships are being used to adhere to the sulfur oxide regulations. Among the tank materials for storing LNG, 9% nickel steel is widely used for cryogenic tanks and containers due to its high cryogenic impact toughness and high yield strength.
