Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The crack resistance of steel depends on its structural condition and is determined by the average dimensions of the initial or actual austenitic grain or the dimensions of other structural elements, for instance, packets of martensite.

  2. 2.

    The proposed diagrams which link the characteristics of strength, impact strength, crack resistance, and the average dimension of cleavage facets make possible to carry out a simplified evaluation of the crack resistance of structural steels.
