Brown”, which was assembled in Baltimore, Maryland, and launched in September 1942, The “John W. This study examines a rivet from the SS “John W. The post-mortem studies of Liberty ships highlighted the importance of composition and microstructure in controlling the properties of steel in fracture-critical applications. The study of these failures led to increased understanding of brittle fracture, fracture mechanics, and ductile-to-brittle transition temperatures.
For the metallurgist, metallurgical engineer, or materials scientist, these ships also struck commanding images regarding their catastrophic failures. The rate of production of these ships was at a scale not previously witnessed, reflecting a strategic marshaling of national assets critical to the war effort. During World War II, 2710 Liberty ships were built in the United States across 18 ship yards.
