Description:
AbstractThe novel experiment developed in our Institute to investigate crack initiation, rapid crack propagation and crack arrest with one specimen, the ring test, was applied to a ferritic HSLA pipeline steel. The maximum crack speed achieved in these experiments was between 230 m/s and 1165 m/s. The fracture toughness at crack arrest, KIa, was determined by a static analysis of this specific test. In all cases, it was found that KIa was much lower than KIc. The values of KIa decrease when the maximum crack speed increases, the results being largely scattered. The fracture toughness at crack arrest is therefore not an intrinsic parameter of the material for a given temperature. Cleavage fracture obtained under these conditions is characterized by the existence of numerous cleavage microcracks, mechanical twins and unbroken ligaments. The decrease in fracture toughness when crack speed increases is related, using the Beremin or the RKR model, to the high strain rates at the tip of a rapid propagating crack. A model which takes into account the effect of unbroken ligaments left in the wake of a propagating crack is developed to account for the large values of KIa which were occasionally measured.
