What materials used for cryogenic application?
The only alloy steel recommended for cryogenic service is 9% nickel steel. It is satisfactory for service down to -195°C and is used for transport and storage of cryogenics because of its low cost and ease of fabrication. Other alloy steels are suitable for service in the low-temperature range. The steels A201 and T-1 can suffice to -45°C, nickel steels with 2.25% Ni can suffice to -59°C, and nickel steels with 3.5% Ni to -101°C.
