CryElso® 3.5 is a low-alloyed Ni steel, designed for low temperature applications and requiring a high level of toughness. Its high Charpy impact values at low temperature (-101°C) are combined with good tensile properties and mainly with an ultra low Nil-ductility temperature (Drop weight tests). The crack propagation resistance of the material is therefore excellent.

CryElso® 3.5 is manufactured via the electric furnace with dephosphoration, ladle refining and vacuum degassing to provide reproducible, clean and homogeneous steel. The chemistry of CryElso® 3.5 has been carefully adapted to combine high mechanical properties and excellent weldability.
