Abstract

Welded structures place increasing demands on the level of increased resistance to fracture. A large number of fractures of welded structures, which occur during exploitation at a stress level below of the allowable, indicates the danger of brittle fracture. The assessment of brittle fracture susceptibility was analyzed by testing Sharpy specimens, and the total impact energy, components of total impact energy (crack energy initiation and crack energy propagation) were used as parameters in the analysis.


Keywords
