Scope

This British Standard gives methods for determining fracture toughness in metallic materials in terms of δ (crack tip opening displacement,CTOD) and J (experimental equivalent of the J-integral) using single edge notched tension (SENT) specimens. This British Standard gives a method for determining fracture toughness as a resistance to ductile crack extension (R-curve). A method for single point determination of fracture toughness is also given. The method uses specimens which have been notched and fatigue pre-cracked into parent metal,weld metal or heat affected zone (HAZ). The specimens are loaded in tension,and the force and crack mouth opening displacement are recorded.
