Adrienne Barnes Becomes a TWI Technology Fellow

Wed, 25 September, 2024

We are pleased to announce that Adrienne Barnes CEng, FIMMM, BSc(Eng), EWE has become a TWI Technology Fellow.

Selected by the TWI Executive Team, our Technology Fellows are recognised as leading authorities in their field, both nationally and internationally.

Adrienne joined TWI following her graduation in Metallurgy and Materials Science from Imperial College, London. Her work at TWI has seen her working principally on ferritic steel consultancy and failure investigations covering a wide range of different industry sectors and equipment. She has also led a number of R&D programmes looking at microstructure/property relationships in C-Mn and Cr-Mo steel weldments.

In addition, she has led a number of projects focusing on materials testing in aggressive environments for the oil and gas industry, determining flaw tolerances of oil and gas industry assets operating with harsh internal environments. Adrienne’s work has allowed test results and historical information to be applied to integrity assessments for a range of industry assets.

Each of our Technology Fellows has made a significant impact through their technical excellence, expertise and knowledge transfer, while also being committed to the development of colleagues.

Adrienne’s area of specialism as a TWI Technology Fellow is ‘Ferritic Steels: Weld Microstructure, Performance and Failure Modes.’
