The effect of chromium and manganese on brittle fracture of low-carbon steel

Metal Science and Heat Treatment of Metals Aims and scope

Conclusions

  1. 1.

    Irrespective of straining rate, embrittlement of the steels under investigation at low temperatures was determined by exhaustion of the ability of the metal to deform plastically.

  2. 2.

    The strength under impact loads at very low temperatures decreased considerably.

  3. 3.

    A reduced tendency to embrittlement at low temperatures of lowalloyed steels compared with carbon steels was found only when the steels were heat treated.

  4. 4.

    Unless they were heat treated, it was pointless to use the low-alloy steels investigated, for parts expected to work under conditions causing cold embrittlement.
