introduction
This document provides a test method for determining the crack arrest toughness of steel. Reference [6] introduces test methods for crack propagation and arrest.
The method, of which GB/T 19744[3] provides a test method for evaluating the lower limit of crack arrest toughness KIA under plane strain conditions.
In addition, a wide plate crack arrest test method was developed in the 1950s[7], which has been used to evaluate the crack arrest energy of cryogenic vessels[7] and pressure vessels[8][9][10].
Force. In recent years, these methods have been widely used to evaluate the crack arrest toughness of marine steel[11].
The crack arrest test for wide plates aims to evaluate the crack arrest toughness Kca of steel plates at actual service thicknesses, rather than the lower limit of the crack arrest toughness KIa. Existing...
The results of the studies [8][10] show that the lower limit of Kca is consistent with that of KIa. Furthermore, wide-plate crack arrest tests can be used to evaluate [the results] in a higher temperature range.
Kca, but KIa cannot be evaluated. References [12] and [13] introduce the theoretical background of crack arrest toughness testing under temperature gradient conditions.
This document provides a test method for determining the brittle crack arrest toughness of steel using a temperature gradient wide plate tensile test. The test method covers the specimen width...
After setting a temperature gradient in the direction and applying uniform tensile stress to the specimen, the specimen is then subjected to impact at the edge notch or through a slow-speed tensile plate.
The brittle cracks initiate at the edge of the specimen, propagate along the width direction, and then arrest.
Appendix A describes the specimens and methods for the compound crack arrest test.
Appendix B provides typical apparatus and recommended methods for establishing a temperature gradient on a sample.
The method in Annex C can be used to determine the stress intensity factor of nonlinear cracks.
Appendix D describes methods for determining the dynamic characteristics of crack propagation and measuring the dynamic strain of specimens.
Appendix E provides a method for obtaining the Kca value at a specific temperature, such as the structural design temperature.
Brittle crack arrest toughness of steel in metallic materials (Kca)
Test methods for determination
1.Scope
This document specifies the test principle, test equipment, test specimens, test methods, and test procedures for determining the brittle crack arrest toughness Kca of metallic materials.
Preface, calculation and test report of crack arrest toughness.
This document applies to materials with a tensile strength not exceeding 1150 MPa, a crack arrest temperature range of -196℃ to 100℃, and exhibiting ductile-brittle transition characteristics.
Ferritic rolled flat steel plates with a thickness not exceeding.200mm are suitable, but not for steel plates formed by flattening pipes, as flattening can cause cracking.
The toughness changes.
