Description

Miniaturized specimen technology enables mechanical behavior determination using a minimum volume of material. A method for obtaining the ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) of ferritic steels was developed using a miniaturized notch test (MNT). Comparisons between conventional and miniaturized specimen DBTTs show that the MNT specimens are capable of delivering a 41-J transition temperature shift with the same accuracy as that obtained using conventional specimens. The work reported was performed on an American Society for Testing Materials A508 steel
