2. Notion of ductility transition temperature
2.1 Tests on smooth specimens
We consider the case of metals that can fracture by cleavage: face-centered cubics and hexagonal metals, to the exclusion of face-centered cubics. The example most often considered is that of ferritic steels.
The yield strength R e decreases with increasing temperature T (figure 5 ). At a critical temperature T c , R e meets the curve representative of the cleavage stress σ f . Slightly above this temperature,...
