An assessment of fracture behaviour of weld joints used in the power industry
 Rádsetoulal, Milan ; Šiška, Filip (referee) ; Stratil, Luděk (advisor)
This thesis is focused on assessment of fracture behaviour of heterogeneous welded joint. The goal is to determine fracture behaviour at the interface of ferritic base metal and austenitic weld metal at temperature of 255°C. This kind of weld is widely used at energy industry. Fracture toughness was evaluated using CT specimens with size 0,5T in order to determine the initiation values of stable crack propagation. Fracture behaviour of the weld is correlated with results of metallography and fractography analysis. Both light and scanning electron microscopy is used for fractography analysis. An assessment of fracture behaviour of the interface of the weld joint is first of all connected with a need of suitable location of cycled crack to the interface of metals. In the case of well-prepared crack the lowest values of J-integral are observed. In other cases of slight crack deviation from the notch plane fracture values increase. Due to a large scatter of mechanical properties of heterogeneous weld joints an increased number of test specimens is needed to obtain relevant and conservative fracture toughness values. Correlation of fracture toughness with the results of fractography analysis leads to clarification of the crack trajectory and to description of fracture mechanism.

Fracture toughness testing for improving the safety of gas pipeline
 Gajdoš, Lubomír ; Šperl, Martin
For standard fracture mechanical tests flat specimens (principally CT or SENB) are required. This brings problems for investigating fracture mechanical properties of thin-walled pipes because it is necessary to straighten the pipe bands [1]. However, this operation causes internal stresses to be induced not only in the semi-product subjected to straightening but also in finished specimens. A question therefore arises to what extent are then the magnitudes of the fracture toughness determined representative for the actual cylindrical wall. To solve this problem fracture mechanics tests were carried out on flat (straightened) CT specimens as well as on curved CT specimens with the natural curvature. The R – curves as well as the resulting parameters of the fracture toughness, obtained for both types of CT specimens, were compared and it was concluded that the fracture toughness of the pipe material determined on straightened CT specimens was practically the same as that obtained on curved CT specimens.
