description The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of automatic plasma arc welding (PAW) to cryogenic materials used in liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel storage tanks based on experimental data. The mechanical properties of the materials were tested at room and cryogenic temperatures to investigate the fatigue and fracture performances of weld joints made by PAW. In addition, the influence of welding parameters on the welded joints such as material types and temperature were considered in this experimental study. Based on the results obtained by this experimental study, it was observed that the experimental results of all materials at room and cryogenic temperatures satisfied all the requirements of each mechanical test. Finally, we propose the experimental results of PAW that can be used in the structural design of LNG fuel storage tank applications.
