The evaluation of fracture of ferritic steels using the methods in ASME Code Case 2564 for impulsively loaded vessels requires the static reference temperature T0 and the upper shelf toughness, and these are used together with the Master Curve to define the transition temperature curve. The effect of high rates of strain on the ductile-brittle transition is determined in the code case using a correlation due to Wallin. Two steels used for impulsively loaded vessels, welded steel similar to HY80 plate and a cast steel similar to HY100 have been evaluated to obtain their static fracture and strength properties. Additional instrumented pre-cracked Charpy testing using a draft ISO standard has determined the shift in T0 with high strain rates and the results have been compared to the Wallin correlation. The strain rate correlation is used to evaluate the fracture response of vessels made of these steels when subjected to internal blast. By using the instantaneous strain rates of the vessel wall vibration considerable gains in critical crack size can be obtained compared to using the highest rate throughout the whole of the transient.

High-strength steels are usually microalloyed with niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti) and vanadium (V), individually or in combination. The reheating temperature during austenization has a significant influence on the precipitation of microalloyed steels. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of reheating temperature on precipitates of microalloying elements. The research results show that reheating temperature should be high enough to ensure the dissolution of carbide and nitride precipitates in order to improve the precipitation strengthening of microalloying elements during rolling and cooling. The results provide the theoretical reference for the determination of reheating technology of microalloyed steels.

Abstract Dogal 600 and 800 DP are high-strength steels with a microstructure that contains ferrite, which is soft and formable, and martensite, which is hard and contributes to the strength of the steel. The designation relates to the lowest tensile strength. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, and tensile properties. It also includes information on forming, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: CS-160. Producer or source: SSAB Swedish Steel Inc. and SSAB Swedish Steel.

Abstract YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 Steels comprise a series of high-strength, cold-rolled steels designed to meet performance and weight-saving objectives. They are an extension of Youngstown's series of hot-rolled high-strength steels (see Youngstown YS-T Steel, Alloy Digest SA-261, March 1971). The YS-T 50 to YS-T 140 steels have minimum yield strengths ranging from 50,000 psi to 140,000 psi. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, hardness, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: SA-331. Producer or source: Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company.

Abstract Bethlehem Lukens Plate (BLP) offers five grades of Spartan high-strength steels with tensile yield strength over 690 MPa (100 ksi). These alloys contain copper for precipitation reactions. They also have improved weldability and toughness compared to ASTM A 514 and A 543 grades. This datasheet provides information on composition, microstructure, hardness, and tensile properties as well as fracture toughness. It also includes information on forming and joining. Filing Code: SA-518. Producer or source: Bethlehem Lukens Plate.
