Method of making a gas pressure vessel of austenitic stainless steel by cryogenic forming

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing a compressed gas container made of austenitic steels by cryodeformation in which the container is cooled by a refrigerated cooling medium to below the prevailing martensite transformation temperature and is expanded to the desired size by the introduction of a pressure medium into the container. Trichlorofluoromethane is employed as the pressure medium.
