The invention provides Ni-series low-temperature steel, a manufacture method thereof, a
liquefied natural gas storage tank and a ship body for a transportation ship. The Ni-series low-temperature steel includes the following chemical compositions by
mass percentage: 0.02-0.10% of C, 0.01-0.20% of Si, 0.50-0.75% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.010% of P, less than or equal to 0.004% of S, 8.50-9.50% of Ni, 0.005-0.40% of Al, 0.005-0.40% of Ti, 0.0005-0.003% of O, 0.0010-0.01% of N, 0.0005-0.004% of Ca, 0.001-1.50% of Cu, 0.001-0.16% of Mo and the balance being Fe. The manufacture method includes steps of: adopting a basic
oxygen furnace (BOF)(or an
electric arc furnace(EAF)) for
smelting+
low frequency (LF)+ VD(or RH) refining technology for refining; adopting a secondary
cold area weak cold+ stable low
casting process to be matched for steel
continuous casting; adopting low-temperature heating+ controlled rolling technology for steel rolling and directly
quenching at the temperature above Ar3; and adopting the critical hardening+
tempering process for
thermal treatment of steel. Through experiments of low-temperature impacting,
non destructive testing (NDT), dark trace (DT),
crack tip opening displacement (CTOD), K1a and the like, the Ni-series low-temperature steel is proved to have the advantages of having good obdurability matching and suitable for manufacturing ultra-large type
liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tanks, wherein manufacture volume of the LNG storage tanks exceeds 2*105m<3>, maximum wall thickness exceeds 50mm, and the LNG storage tanks are ultra-high in requirements for safety.
