Abstract
Chromium and chromium-base alloys are promising materials for a number of areas of technology as the result of their unique properties. However, their increased brittleness at temperatures below 0.3 Tmelt (∼ 630°C) and, consequently, their low impact strength at room temperature retard their use and make it necessary to conduct investigations for the purpose of determining the conditions of use of these rnaterials. This article presents the results of impact tests of chromium and its alloys at temperatures up to 1100°C. Special attention was devoted to the test method for the purpose of obtaining reliable results.
