Journal ArticleDOI
An investigation of the plastic fracture of AISI 4340 and 18 Nickel-200 grade maraging steels
T. B. Cox,John R. Low +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the mechanisms of plastic fracture in high-purity and commercial 18 Ni, 200 grade maraging steels and quenched and tempered AISI 4340 steels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of microstructure on fracture toughness of high strength alloys
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief and cursory discussion attempts to point out the more important microstructural factors, which may be expected to affect the toughness of high strength alloys, in which fracture occurs by void nucleation and coalescence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of prior austenitic grain boundary composition on temper brittleness in a Ni-Cr-Sb steel
Craig L. Smith,John R. Low +1 more
TL;DR: Grain boundary segregation during temper embrittlement of an Sb-containing, Ni-Cr steel has been examined both by Auger electron analysis and by chemical analysis by neutron activation of residues of surface layers dissolved by etching intercrystalline fracture surfaces as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intergranular fracture in an Al-15 Wt Pct Zn alloy
William J. Kovacs,John R. Low +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a double cantilever beam specimen was used to study the intergranular fracture of an Al-15 wt pct Zn alloy tested in air, distilled H2O, and 0.5M NaCl with two different types of specimens: polycrystals with large equiaxed grains and bicrystals.
INTERGRANULAR FRACTURE IN AN A1-15 WT. % Zn ALLOY
William J Kovacs,John R. Low +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the elastic strain energy released during crack propagation in a double cantilever beam specimen has been studied by means of the elastic straining energy, and the results show that the fracture toughness of this alloy increases with a decreasing volume fraction of G.P. zones in the matrix.
