BRITTLE FRACTURE MECHANISMS OF THREE MODEL LOW ALLOY STEELS CHEMICALLY REPRESENTATIVE OF A MACROSEGREGATED FORGING

Cainã BemficaWalnut

The influence of the chemical composition on the brittle fracture behaviour of pressure vessel steels was investigated. Two model materials with chemical compositions simulating zones of moderate and severe positive macrosegregation were characterized and compared with the non-segregated material. Fractographic analysis suggests that brittle fracture mechanisms depend on the chemical composition through the induced microstructure.
