Master Curve of High-Strength Ferritic Steel S960-QC

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the paper, the master curve for the high-strength steel S960-QC is derived. It turns out that the mathematical form of the classical master curve can be preserved. However, some coefficients must be changed. The new formula does not contain the influence of the specimen thickness on fracture toughness. The explanation of this observation is proposed.
