Evaluation of Variations in Solution Annealing, Intercritical Annealing, and Aging Treatments on Cobalt-free Maraging Steels

September 22, 2025
Author(s)
Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing, Alec Saville, Cassidy Allen, Jordan Weaver, Nikolas Hrabe, Timothy Quinn, Timothy Weeks, Newell Moser, Chad Beamer, Christin Aumayr, Tilman Seifert, Michael Hirtler
This work is a compilation and summary of the quasi-static mechanical properties of a novel cobalt-free maraging steel, M789, that underwent a series of various heat treatments which included solution annealing, intercritical annealing, and aging

Mechanical Metallurgy on Columbia Gas X100 Experimental Pipe

August 28, 2024
Author(s)
Dash Weeks, Ryan White, Jake Benzing, Enrico Lucon, Nicholas Derimow, Ashley Kroon, Robert Smith
This study evaluates the material properties of an X100 pipeline steel extracted from an experimental transmission pipeline section placed into service in the 1960s. The purpose is to compare these properties with current X100 steel standards

Synergistic Fire Resistance of Nanobrick-wall Coated 3D Printed Photopolymer Lattices

March 16, 2023
Author(s)
Thomas Kolibaba, Callie Higgins, Zack Buck, Dash Weeks, Jason Killgore
Photopolymer additive manufacturing has become the subject of widespread interest in recent years due to its capacity to enable fabrication of difficult geometries that are impossible to build with traditional modes of manufacturing. The flammability of

Fracture Toughness Tests at 77 K and 4 K on 316L Stainless Steel Welded Plates

July 29, 2022
Author(s)
Jake Benzing, Nicholas Derimow, Enrico Lucon, Dash Weeks
In the framework of a collaborative project between ASME, NASA, and NIST, quasi-static fracture toughness tests have been performed at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K, or -196 °C) and liquid helium temperature (4 K, or -269 °C) on weld specimens

Tensile Tests at 77 K and 4 K on 316L Stainless Steel Welded Plates

July 19, 2022
Author(s)
Dash Weeks, Nicholas Derimow, Jake Benzing
Based on the collaborative framework established between ASME, NASA, and NIST, quasi-static tensile tests were performed in liquid nitrogen (77 K) and liquid helium (4 K) on tensile specimens extracted from the centers of four welded 316L stainless steel

CURVED-WIDE PLATE TESTING OF X100 GIRTH WELDS

September 29, 2014
Author(s)
Timothy S. Weeks, Joseph D. McColskey, Mark D. Richards, Yong-Yi Wang, Marie A. Quintana
The curved-wide plate (CWP) tests are frequently used for assessing the quality of pipeline girth welds. Despite a large number of CWP tests having been conducted at great expense over many decades, an industry consensus standard remains unavailable

The effect of Acetobacter sp. and a sulfate-reducing bacterial consortium from ethanol fuel environments on fatigue crack propagation in pipeline and storage tank steels

February 1, 2014
Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Sowards, Charles H. Williamson, Timothy S. Weeks, Joseph D. McColskey, John R. Spear
This study evaluated the effects of microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) on fatigue crack growth of candidate materials useful in expanding bioethanol usage including: a storage tank steel (ASTM A36) and two pipeline steels (API 5L X52 and X70)
