Analysis of International Standard on High Manganese Steel for LNG Ships
In the context of greenhouse gas emission reduction,the market scale of LNG as a marine fuel or maritime cargo is expanding,and the transportation,storage,and refueling of LNG are carried out in ultra-low-temperature environments,which puts forward stringent requirements on the ultra-low-temperature performance of related materials.Ultra-low temperature high manganese steel has become a research hotspot based on its advantages of low-temperature toughness,cost and manufacturing process,gradually surpassing the traditional low-temperature materials.Against this background,the development of relevant international standards has gradually begun.Therefore,this paper focuses on analyzing the current status of standards in the field of LNG shipboard steel,sorts out the relevant international standards and channels of ultra-low-temperature high manganese steel,and analyzes the content of international standards on high manganese steel for shipboard LNG tanks,to point out the direction as well as the main challenges and opportunities of the development of international standards on LNG shipboard steel.
