Abstract: The processes of ductile fracture of KD32 steel specimens subjected to prestrain at elevated temperature are observed. Although several large voids are observed at a relatively small strain ...

Abstract: It is well known that fracture initiation behavior is influenced by weld thermal straining. In the present report, attention is focused on the influence of weld thermal straining on the fracture ...

Abstract: Fracture toughness tests of specimens in which the crack fronts consist of the weld metal region, the HAZ, and the base metal region have been carried out. It seems that, even in the case ...
