Abstract: In order to determine the influence of the test temperature on the crack arrest toughness, investigations were carried out on pressure vessel steels of various strength and toughness up to the ...

Abstract: The strength and deformation behavior of specimens and components is, on the one hand, influenced by the local state of stress and strain, and on the other hand, by the chemical composition ...

Abstract: One of the decisive factors influencing the safety of components is the capacity for plastic deformation of the material employed. This depends not only on the actual material properties, such ...
