PREDICTION OF FRACTURE TOUGHNESS TRANSITION FROM TENSILE TEST DATA APPLYING NEURAL NETWORKS
Dlouhý, I. ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Chlup, Zdeněk ; Válka, Libor ; Žák, L.
Reference temperature localizing the fracture toughness temperature diagram on temperature axis was predicted based on tensile test data. Regularization artificial neural network (ANN) was adjusted to solve the interrelation of these properties. For analyses, 29 data sets from low-alloy steels were applied. The fracture toughness transition dependence was quantified by means of master curve concept enabling to represent it using one parameter - reference temperature. Different strength and deformation characteristics from standard tensile specimens and notched specimens, instrumented ball indentation test etc. have been applied. A very promising correlation of predicted and experimentally determined values of reference temperature was found.

NEW APPROACH TO STRESS-STRAIN CURVE PREDICTION USING BALL INDENTATION TEST
Brumek, J. ; Strnadel, B. ; Dlouhý, Ivo
This work is concerned with the method for predicting stress-strain behavior of material using instrumented indentation technique. High strength low alloy steel with different thermal treatment was taken into the analysis. Heat treatment for the steel was performed to obtain different mechanical properties. Assessment of mechanical properties was done by using inverse technique of the finite element analysis. The results were confronted with conventional test parameters and prediction procedure defined such Automated Ball Indentation Technique (ABIT). Comparison of the material curves shows good agreement with tensile test properties which makes this non-destructive method suitable for industrial application.

Study of ductile damage mechanism for Eurofer97 steel
Stratil, Luděk ; Hadraba, Hynek ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The contribution deals with the investigation of ductile damage mechanisms acting in the EUROFER97 steel. For evaluation of material response to various levels of the stress triaxiality the tests on smooth and notched tensile bars were performed. The broken tensile specimens were fractographically and metallographically analyzed and also a quantitative study of mirco-void initiation and nucleation was performed. The more serve conditions of the stress triaxiality in the notched specimens increase the strength characteristics and lower their fracture strain. The nucleation of the voids by decohesion mechanism and gradual void’s growth form substantial part of damage process of the material, finally rapid void coalescence takes place. The higher stress triaxiality promotes growth of voids and on restricts void’s nucleation.

Embrittlement of ferritic 14%Cr ODS steel in air and in Pb/Pb-Bi coolants at elevated temperatures
Hadraba, Hynek ; Dlouhý, Ivo ; Hojná, A. ; Di Gabriele, F.
The work was focused to describing influence of long-time high-temperature exposition of the ferritic 14%Cr ODS steel to the liquid Pb and Pb-Bi metals environments. The steel was during exposition in the liquid Pb and Pb-Bi at 600°C and 550°C respectively depleted from Cr and Ti formed with Pb and Bi the surface oxide scale. In addition the isothermal ageing of the steel at 650°C caused precipitates coarsening and porosity development by dislocation annealing in the bulk of the steel. Tensile and impact bend tests reveals outstanding embrittlement of the isothermally aged ODS steel and the steel after exposition to the liquid Pb and Pb-Bi compared with the steel in as-received state.

Fracture behaviour of high-chromium 9% and 14% Cr-Mo and Cr-W steels
Hadraba, Hynek ; Stratil, Luděk ; Kazimierzak, B. ; Fournier, B. ; Dlouhý, Ivo
The paper describes the influence of the microstructure (coming from the chemical composition and extrusion shape) of 9 and 14%Cr- W(Mo)-Ti-Y2O3 ODS steels prepared by mechanical alloying and subsequent hot-extrusion on their impact properties. The chemical composition and corresponding microstructure plays a major role on the impact properties. 9Cr-2W ferritic-martensitic steel present lower upper shelf energy (USE) about 7 J and a lower ductile to brittle transition temperature (DBTT) about -30°C compared to 14Cr-1W ferritic steel one. The transition energy curves of low-activation ferritic 14Cr-1W ODS steel was shifted by about 50°C toward lower temperatures and USE by about 4 J towards higher energies. The extrusion shape also plays a role on the impact properties. The texture caused by the forming process strongly influenced the impact behaviour of the steels. The extensive splitting of the fracture surfaces of plate shaped steel comparing with steels extruded as bar was found.
