The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Hy-Performance Materials Testing (HPMT) to increase the efficiency and reduce the cost of conducting fatigue crack growth testing (FCGT) of steels used for stationary hydrogen storage tanks. HPMT would target improvements to various stages of testing. The project would be completed over three Budget Periods (BPs), with a Go/No-Go Decision Point in between each BP.
