Description

This report deals with the recent results of test on the heavy section Mn-Ni-Mo steel plates produced by new facilities including the basic oxygen furnace, ASEA-SKF type ladle refining furnace. Various kinds of test have been conducted to assess the fracture toughness characteristics under static, (Ksub(Ic)), or dynamic, (Ksub(Id)), loading and those for arrest of propagating brittle crack, (Ksub(Ia)). Changes in the Ksub(Ic), Ksub(Id), Ksub(Ia) values obtained by small specimens and full-thickness CT and ESSO test specimens with temperature were measured. Over a full temperature range tested in this study, all Ksub(I) values exceed the Ksub(IR) curve which is specified in the ASME Code, and the results are therefore considered satisfactory for the material to be used in the construction of RPV's.
