Plastic Deformation And Brittle Fracture Of Steel And Iron At Low Temperatures PDF Download

Excerpt from Mechanical Properties of Metals at Low Temperatures: Proceedings of the Nbs Semicentennial Symposium on Mechanical Properties of Metals at Low Temperatures, Held at the Nbs on May 14 and 15, 1951 A brief account is given of work in Europe since 1940 on the mechanical properties of metals at low temperatures. Elasticity and plasticity are dealt with, and the development of brittleness at low temperatures is discussed in relation to brittle fracture in mild steel, the behavior of heat-treated alloy steels at temperatures prevailing in the stratosphere, and the reliability of austenitic steels at liquid-air temperature. The properties at low temperatures of pure alloys of iron made at the National Physical Laboratory are described, and it is shown that some alloying additions exert influences on the rupture strength that are independent of their influence on the resistance to plastic deformation.
