Crack arrest tests such as compact, ESSO and DCB tests were made on SA533B C
l. 1, HT80 and KD32 steels to evaluate the crack arrest toughness. The main results obtained are as follows:
1) The crack arrest toughness was evaluated by
KIa which was obtained by the static analysis of compact test.
2)
KID determined by the dynamic analysis of compact test was greater than
KIa, though
KID became close to
KIa as
KIa/
KQ became a unity.
KQ is the stress intensity factor at the crack initiation.
3) No significant difference was observed between
KIa and
Kca obtained by ESSO and DCB tests, though
Kca, obtained by DCB test tended to be smaller than
KIa at lower temperatures.
4)
KIa was smaller than
KIc in the transition temperature range, while it was greater than
KId. In the temperature range where
KIc which was determined from JIC decreased with temperature increase, however, it was smaller than
KIa.
5) The fracture appearance transition temperature and the absorbed energy obtained by 2 mm V notch Charpy test were appropriate parameters for representing the crack arrest toughness, while the NDT temperature was not.
