Abstract:

The goal of this project was to further develop and market advanced 70-ksi-yield strength super-tough steel (designated as NUCu70ST in the text) for use in tank cars transporting cryogenic liquids, like chlorine, for example. Fracture of these tanks resulted in a number of industrial accidents. One in 2005 in Graniteville, South Carolina led to 9 deaths and at least 250 injuries. In preliminary mechanical and fracture studies performed at Northwestern University, Union Tank Car Company and its contractors, NUCu70ST was shown to significantly outperform all other steels tested, including steels currently used in tank-cars as well as other high-performance steels on the market.
