Table 1. Comparison of fracture toughness in UFG-iron and UFG-nickel. The results of Ni were re-calculated into equivalent critical stress intensities derived from crack tip opening displacement measurements [17].
Iron | KIC (MPa m1/2) | Nickel | KIC (MPa m1/2) |
---|---|---|---|
A | 14.2 | A | 63.2 |
B | 36.2 | B | 108.1 |
C | 49.0 | C | 72.3 |
