Steel for cold environments
Steel for cold environments
(OP)
Two questions:
We have a project in Russia which will have exposed steelwork and winter temperatures of -45 degree celsius. - What type of steel would you use?
Given the steel grade what special designs/techniques would you use in the connections to ensure that brittle fracture did not occur?

RE: Steel for cold environments
Currently we have suggested low alloy steel to European specification with Charpy impact testing at -45. This should be similar to the ASTM standards.
Part of my reasoning in asking the original question was that AISC 13th Ed does not seem (on a casual read) to contain any design guidance on steel in cold temperatures.
