Abstract: | The multiple specimen J
0.2/BL initiation fracture toughness test procedure from the ISO standard, ISO 12135:2002, is evaluated using the EURO fracture
toughness data set. This standard is also compared with the ASTM standard, ASTM E 1820, multiple specimen J
Ic procedure. The EURO round robin data set was generated to evaluate the transition fracture toughness methods for steels.
However, many of the tests resulted in ductile fracture behavior giving final J versus ductile crack extension points. This is the information that is measured in a multiple specimen J initiation fracture toughness test. The data set has more than 300 individual points of J versus crack extension with four different specimen sizes. It may be the largest data set of that type produced for one material.
Therefore, its use to determine J initiation values can provide an important evaluation of the standard procedures. The results showed that a J
0.2/BL value could be determined from the ISO standard for three of the four specimen sizes, the smallest size did not meet the
specimen size requirement on J. The construction line slopes in this method are very steep compared with the ASTM construction line slopes. This resulted
in low J initiation values, about a factor of two lower than the one from the ASTM method. Of the various criteria imposed to determine
a valid J
0.2/BL value, the one limiting the maximum J value was the most questionable. It had an effect of eliminating small specimen data that was identical to acceptable large
specimen data. |
