Introduction of Aluminum sheet Plate for Moss LNG Tank

The Aluminum sheet Plate for Moss LNG Tank is a non-heat-treated strengthened aluminum alloy. It uses work hardening and microalloying to improve its comprehensive performance, and does not have the problem of low temperature and cold brittleness. It still maintains excellent mechanical properties under low temperature conditions. Aluminum sheet Plate for Moss LNG Tank has high tensile strength, high elongation, easy surface treatment, good bending workability, light weight, strong corrosion resistance and other advantages. It is widely used in LNG tanks, such as IHI SPB tanks, MOSS cabins, LNT A-BOX cabins, etc., and LNG storage tanks are under construction.

Application of Aluminum sheet Plate for Moss LNG Tank in the Construction of LNG Tanks

Aluminum alloy has been used to build the cargo tanks of LNG carriers for decades. In September 1981, Japan’s first "Golar Spirir" LNG carrier was completed and delivered to Kawasaki Heavy Industries' factory. Its cargo tanks It is constructed with aluminum alloy materials. At present, aluminum alloy has become one of the most important construction materials for IHI SPB cabin and MOSS cabin. As of mid-October 2020, the number of LNG carriers that have been delivered using MOSS and IHI SPB are 125 and 7, respectively.
