At 36 percent, the primary component of NAS36LG is nickel, giving this alloy an extremely low coefficient of thermal expansion—about one-tenth that of 18-8 stainless steel. NAS36LG maintains thermal stress due to temperature variation at an extremely low level. When used with low-temperature materials, complex surface forms such as waves, bellows and loop patterns are not required, making NAS36LG an easy metal to work with.
This alloy has a high ductility at extremely low temperatures and is particularly good for welding. Given these properties, NAS36LG is used in liquefied natural gas ships, membrane material for land container tanks, and a variety of container and piping materials for handling extremely low-temperature fluids. Nippon Yakin supplies this product in coil and sheet forms.

| Low-temperature ductility | Because of its austenitic structure, the impact value does not vary, ensuring adequate ductility at room temperature and even extremely low temperatures. |
| Workability | Soft and extendible at room temperature, NAS36LG can be easily worked. |
| Corrosion resistance | Because NAS36LG does not contain the chromium found in stainless steel, care must be taken to ensure rusting does not occur. |
| Applications | Membranes for liquefied natural gas ships and land storage tanks, containers for extremely low-temperature fluids |
