Description

The purpose of the present study was to determine Elastic-Plastic fracture toughness (JIc) of a shape-welded material type: ASTM A 533 Grade B, class 1. Multispecimen J-integral Resistance curves were developed at room temperature for 38 mm thick compact tension (CT) specimens with a/w of 0.6 and 20 % side-grooving. The results obtained from the valid data are in agreement with JIc values for such type of materials. However, fatigue crack propagation curves indicated some anisotropy in the CL and LC orientations of the specimens. Tearing modulus values were found comparatively quite low, which is probably due to excessive amounts of nickel, manganese and oxygen in the material. (author). 13 refs, 8 figs, 2 tabs
