TL;DR: In this paper, an attempt is made to compare the Acoustic Emission data acquired during tensile deformation of maraging steel welded specimens and a total of 16 welded specimen's with known defects were studied for their tensile behaviour is in connection with acoustic emission data.
Abstract: Safety and reliability are primary concerns in launch vehicle performance due to the involved costs and risk. Pressure vessels are one of the significant subsystems of launch vehicles. In order to have minimal weight, high strength material viz. maraging steel M250 grade is used in realizing the pressure vessel casing hardware. Despite the best efforts in design methodology, quality evaluation in production and effective structural integrity assessment is still a farfetched goal. The evolution of such a system requires, first, identification of an appropriate technique and next its adoption to meet the challenges posed by advanced materials like maraging steels. In fact, a quick survey of the available Non-Destructive Evaluation (NDE) techniques suggests Acoustic Emission (AE) as an effective structural integrity assessment tool capable of identifying any impending failure or degradation at an earlier stage. Experience shows that the longitudinal welds in the pressure vessels are quite vulnerable to failure due to the fact that they experience the maximum stress (i.e. hoop stress). Loading welded tensile samples are quite synonymous to the hoop stress experienced by longitudinal welds. An attempt is made to compare the Acoustic Emission data acquired during tensile deformation of maraging steel welded specimens. A total of 16 welded specimen’s with known defects were studied for their tensile behaviour is in connection with Acoustic Emission data. The lowest failure load was 70.5 kN and the highest being 84.8 kN. AE activity graphs viz. cumulative AE activity, hit rate, energy rate, count rate, AE amplitude history, AE count history, AE energy history, amplitude-count correlation and hit amplitude distribution have been investigated and salient features with respect to the data have been critically studied and relevant correlations are arrived at.

TL;DR: In this paper, the microstructure and mechanical properties of maraging steel 350 were studied after aging at 500 − 650°C and the impact energy, the elongation, and the product of the ultimate strength by elongation were shown to depend on the fraction of reverted austenite.
Abstract: The microstructure and mechanical properties of maraging steel 350 is studied after aging at 500 – 650°C. The yield strength, the ultimate strength, the impact energy, and the hardness of the steel are determined. The volume fraction of reverted austenite after the aging is assessed. The impact energy, the elongation, and the product of the ultimate strength by the elongation are shown to depend on the fraction of reverted austenite in steel 350.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact properties of additively manufactured maraging steel (1.2709) using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L) processing were investigated using 3D Systems ProX 300 equipment under constant specific power input, or Andrew number.
Abstract: The current paper aimed to study the impact properties of additively manufactured maraging steel (1.2709) using laser powder bed fusion (PBF-L) processing. The specimens were fabricated using 3D Systems ProX 300 equipment under constant specific power input, or Andrew number. The interactions between the build strategy and parameters such as hatch spacing and scan speed was, and the impact strength and fracture were investigated. The impact energy anisotropy was also investigated in parallel and perpendicular to the build direction. Instrumented impact testing was performed, and the fractography supported that the fusion zone geometry dictated the fracture behavior. The influence from gaseous elements such as nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen was found insignificant at the levels found in the printed material.

TL;DR: In this paper, the intrinsic or material quality factor (Q-factor) of a number of different materials, possible suited for the construction of low loss flexures, have been reported, and the results show that the highest intrinsic Q-factor occurs for monolithic flexure membranes constructed from niobium, with maraging steel also yielding a high intrinsic Q -factor.
Abstract: We report on the intrinsic or material quality factor (Q-factor) of a number of different materials, possible suited for the construction of low loss flexures. Clamped foil flexure membranes made from titanium, a glassy alloy, Cusil and Havar (high strength non-magnetic alloy), as well as monolithic flexure membranes made from titanium, niobium and Marval 18 (maraging) steel, have been tested. The results show that the highest intrinsic Q-factor occurs for monolithic flexure membranes constructed from niobium, with maraging steel also yielding a high intrinsic Q-factor. Other materials tested were shown to be significantly inferior. For a pendulum of mass 10 kg, with a stress safety factor of δ = 0.3, we predict a maximum Q-factor of 3.1×107 for a niobium flexure, and 2.9×106 for a maraging steel flexure.
