Abstract

Charpy impact testing of the high strength low-alloyed steel has been performed by simultaneously recording two independent signals. The magnetic emission (ME) and potential drop (PD) techniques were used to determine critical crack initiation properties on standard three-point pre-cracked bending specimens at room temperature. Both signals (ME and PD) were recorded by digital oscilloscope with a high sampling rate and compared, with the purpose of more precise identification of critical fracture mechanics parameters determining the onset of ductile crack growth.
