Fracture Toughness of the Lean Duplex Stainless Steel LDX 2101
|
Fracture toughness testing was performed on the recently developed lean duplex stainless steel LDX 2101 (EN 1.4162, UNS S32101). The results were evaluated by master curve analysis, including deriving a reference temperature. The master curve approach, originally developed for ferritic steels, has been used successfully. The reference temperature corresponds to a fracture toughness of 100 MPa[the square root of]m, which characterizes the onset of cleavage cracking at elastic or elastic-plasti...
