Tensile, three point bending J
C and impact tests at different speeds and temperatures were carried out on ferritic-pearlitic and pearlite spheroidal graphite cast irons. The fracture energy per unit volume in tensile test was evaluated as the product of the mean value of tensile and proof stresses multiplied by elongation. It shows the ductile-brittle transition in the same manner as J
C and absorbed energies in Charpy test. Acceleration of strain rate shifts transition curves of fracture energy and J
C toward the high temperature side, leaving the upper shelf value unchanged. An Increase of pearlite in the matrix also shifts the curves upward, lowering the upper shelf value and moderating the transition curves. Transition temperatures of fracture energy, J
C and Charpy absorbed energy are related linearly to the logarithm of strain rate. They rise by about 17°, 19° and 23°C for ferritic, ferritic-pearlitic and pearlitic irons respectively in every tenfold of increase in strain rate.
