This ultra hard KX-Alloy high manganese steel makes it an excellent candidate for LNG fuel tanks for ships. So now, we know more about why high manganese steel is the ideal candidate for this role!
Strong and Safe for LNG Fuel:
If you've got liquid natural gas (LNG, for short), you want a strong material that won't crack. High manganese steel is most common, this is really strong and ideal for maintaining LNG in a ship’s fuel tank. Make sure it stays that way with KX-Alloy, so you can be confident that your fuel tank component will be robust and fit to ensure everybody gets back home safely.
Ocean Rust-Resistant:
Ships spend a lot of time in the ocean where salt water can rust metal. KX-Alloy, due to high manganese steel, does not rust, can withstand the harsh conditions of the ocean without succumbing to oncoming ocean wear. It means it will last for a long time and won't need to be replaced, making it an ideal material for LNG fuel tanks on ships.
Lightweight To Improve Fuel Efficiency:
To power a ship, you need fuel. A lighter ship uses less fuel to travel. High manganese steel is also lightweight and so it is excellent to use for fuel tanks as it will not add extra weight to a ship. Call KX-Alloy and you can rest assured that your fuel tank can save you fuel and money.
Quick to Weld for Fabricating Tanks:
LNG tanks for ships must have a material that is easy to work with. Due to its ease of welding, it can easily be joined to itself, making it an ideal choice for a durable and secure fuel tank. KX-Alloy goes up into manufacture throughout most of their products, so you can rest assured your fuel tank will be well assembled for the ocean.
Value for Money in Terms of Durability:
Making a ship's fuel tank is a significant investment, and we like to get our value for it. Cost-effective and durable, KX-Alloy has high tensile strength which makes it suitable for high-manganese steel and other types of equipment. KX-Alloy fuel tanks are proven in strength and durability for many years to come.
So, in summary, high manganese steel, as in KX-Alloy monel, is the ideal material for ship LNG fuel tanks. All these features, along with its strength, rust resistance, lightweight, easy welding, and low-cost price, make KX-Alloy the ideal material for a ship's fuel tank, to keep it safe and efficient. KX-Alloy, your go to source for LNG fuel tanks!
