What is ISO 23430 - Specification of high manganese austenitic steel thin strips about?
ISO 23430 describes the specification of high manganese (Mn) austenitic steel thin strips with good weldability and good resistance to atmospheric corrosion intended to be used for LNG tanks onboard ships.
Note: ISO 23430 covers strips with a thickness ranging from 0,3 mm to 6,0 mm.

Why should you use ISO 23430 - Specification of high manganese austenitic steel thin strips?
There have been several requirements regarding metallic materials for cryogenic applications since the adoption of the IGC and IGF Codes. Recently, a new high manganese austenitic steel has been proposed for thick plates and piping systems of LNG carriers and LNG-fuelled ships. However, only plates with a thickness ranging from 6 mm to 30 mm are specified and the target tank capacity is limited to 30 000 m3.
ISO 23430 covers a newly developed high manganese austenitic steel for thin strip application. This steel has mechanical properties comparable or even higher than those of materials for cryogenic service listed in both the IGC Code and IGF Code, with good weldability and good resistance to atmospheric corrosion. Consequently, this high manganese austenitic steel is intended to satisfy the strength requirements of the structure of cargo tanks and fuel tanks of LNG carriers and LNG-fuelled ships. ISO 23430 provides a standard specification of high manganese austenitic steel for thin strip applications for material suppliers, ship owners, ship yards, manufacturers, and shipping companies with regard to producing, purchasing, and using such materials
