Study on the Performance and Process of Materials for Special Gas Cylinder

Abstract

The explosion suppression fire extinguisher is an important component part of fire extinguishing and explosion suppression system of special equipment. Because of particularity and specificity of the place where it is used, the explosion suppression fire extinguisher’s body itself is commonly called the special gas cylinder. The material for special gas cylinder selected and used in the earliest design is mainly the ordinary steel gas cylinders such as the carbon structural steel gas cylinder. Because of the following characteristics: being rich in their resources, the prices are low and the process is simple, they can meet the requirements for the use in many kinds of places, and up to now, there are still used widely. But with the continuous development of special equipment in the fields of land, seas and oceans, aviation and aerospace and so on, the single material for the ordinary steel gas cylinder is unable to meet the special requirements of some special equipment. Therefore, it is necessary to research and manufacture new materials whose performance is different from the performance of steel gas cylinder and replace steel gas cylinder with the new materials, in order to meet the different demand in every field. With the continuous development of materials science of our country, some new materials and new technologies are researched and applied continuously. To design the rational manufacturing process by analyzing and researching the performance and technology of these new materials can meet the new requirements of new type of special equipment for explosion suppression fire extinguisher and improve the protective ability of special equipment.
