Ductile-brittle transition of polycrystalline iron and iron-chromium alloys

Fracture toughness of polycrystalline Fe, Fe-3%Cr and Fe-9%Cr was measured by four-point bending of pre-cracked specimens at temperatures between 77 K and 150 K and strain rates between 4.46 × 10-4 and 2.23 × 10-2 s-1. For all materials, fracture behaviour changed with increasing temperature from br...
