Materials for cryogenic applications

I have to specify materials for use at cryogenic temperatures. I have heard about the ‘ductile/brittle’ transformation in steels.

Superalloys - High temperature materials

The term superalloy is generally applied to those alloys that have useful levels of mechanical properties above 600-700oC, and which do not lose strength significantly when exposed

Aluminium alloy corrosion

We have designed and manufactured a structure that comprises extrusions and plate in aluminium alloy 2014A.

Selection of aluminium alloys

We have to develop a design that will call for the use of plate material in aluminium alloys. This is a field very new to us and we have been doing some preliminary reading.
