Acceptance of High Manganese Steel
The insulation material procured by the manufacturers is to cover an outer fire-resistant cladding, that generates a hard outer surface. At present, the LNG storage tank manufacturers are procuring high manganese steel, which is considered a new type of steel, i.e., fabricated by adding 3%–27% of manganese to steel. The high manganese steel does not break at an extremely low temperature, which is as low as -196°C. The high manganese steel is much cheaper compared to conventional steel and helps reduce the material and welding costs. Thus, the growing trend of adopting high-manganese steel for the manufacturing of LNG storage tanks is supporting the market growth.
