Material selection requirements for liquid oxygen storage tanks
Material selection for liquid oxygen tanks is critical because they must be able to withstand extreme cryogenic conditions, high pressures, and the highly oxidizing properties of liquid oxygen.
Material selection for liquid oxygen tanks is critical because they must be able to withstand extreme cryogenic conditions, high pressures, and the highly oxidizing properties of liquid oxygen.
Liquid oxygen storage tanks are usually made of high-quality steel, such as stainless steel or special alloys, to ensure that the tanks can withstand the extremely low temperature and high pressure of liquid oxygen. These materials must have excellent low-temperature impact toughness and good welding properties.
Since liquid oxygen is highly oxidizing, the materials inside the tank must undergo special anti-corrosion treatment to prevent corrosion or oxidation reactions during storage.
