Oxygen (O) is a harmful element in steel such as A515 Grade 65 boiler steel sheet. Although manganese, silicon, iron and aluminum are added to deoxidize the steel at the end of steelmaking, they can not be removed completely. During the solidification of molten steel, the reaction of oxygen and carbon in the solution will produce carbon monoxide, which can cause bubbles. Oxygen mainly exists in the form of FeO, MnO, SiO2, Al2O3 and other inclusions in the steel, which reduces the strength and plasticity of the steel. Especially, it has serious influence on fatigue strength and impact toughness.

In 2010, the 87th session of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Maritime Committee passed the "Performance Standards for Alternative Anticorrosion Measures for Crude Oil Cargo Tanks". It is mandatory that the cargo tanks of large oil tankers above 5,000 dwt need to be protected or used The construction of corrosion-resistant steel promotes the rapid development of the research and application of corrosion-resistant steel for oil tankers in China. At present, the performance of domestic corrosion-resistant steel has reached the world's leading level and can meet the requirements of large-scale applications.
