Determination of the ductile-brittle transition temperature from the microplastic-strain rate

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers investigated whether the temperature at which the microplastic strain rate peaks in steel can serve as a practical indicator of the ductile-brittle transition temperature. Results showed this correlation holds for both cast and deformed steels, offering a new non-destructive method to assess fracture risk.

The possibility of the determination of the tendency of cast and deformed steels to brittle fracture using the temperature dependence of the small-plastic-strain rate is studied. The temperature corresponding to the maximum in this curve is found to indicate an abrupt decrease in the steel plasticity, which makes it possible to interpret it as the ductile-brittle transition temperature depending only on the structure of a material.

Microplastic Limit of Steels as a Means of Fatigue Limit Determination

AI summary Read the abstract

This engineering paper proposed using the microplastic limit of steels, detected via changes in magnetic permeability during tensile loading, as an efficient method for estimating fatigue limits without the time and material costs of conventional S-N curve testing. The microplastic limit approach could significantly accelerate fatigue testing of new steel alloys and structural components.

Definition of the linearity loss of the surface temperature in static tensile tests

AI summary Read the abstract

Static tensile tests on structural materials showed that surface temperature deviates from a linear relationship with applied load due to heat generated by localized microplastic deformations. This thermal signature can be used to detect the onset of microplastic damage before visible yielding occurs.
