This method facilitates characterisation of ductile to brittle fracture for ferritic steels. The book "Fracture Toughness of Engineering Materials - Estimation and Application" was written by Kim ...

This problem seems to result when steel with unknown toughness or FATT (fracture appearance transition temperature) is used in side shells. Despite these occasional incidents, most problems with ...

To enhance their fracture toughness, intergranular rather than intragranular fracture needs to be promoted. In intragranular fracture, a crack propagates straight through the grains, whereas in ...
