[0002] Clean energy is the guarantee for the sustainable development of today's society, and in recent years, the production and trade of liquefied natural gas (LNG) are becoming increasingly active worldwide, and clean energy is becoming a new hotspot in the world oil and gas industry. Therefore, a large number of LNG storage tanks, LNG ships and LNG tank boxes and other equipment need to be built to store and transport LNG. High-manganese austenitic steel has excellent properties such as plasticity, low-temperature toughness, fatigue resistance and corrosion resistance, which is of great significance to improve the safety of LNG facilities. In addition, the price of manganese is only about 1 / 10 of the price of nickel, and the use of high-manganese austenitic steel as an LNG storage material can greatly reduce the material manufacturing cost.
[0003] The use of large-width steel plates can reduce the welding points and reduce the risk of tank cracking. For thin wide plates, the plate shape is difficult to control, and it is easy to appear wavy and difficult to straighten, which has great production difficulty. It has positive significance to develop high-manganese steel thin wide plates for low-temperature tanks with good plate shape and a production method thereof. SUMMARY
