The variation of fracture toughness with specimen thickness for Comsteel En25 compact tension specimens ranging in thickness from 4 mm to 25 mm and tempered from the asquenched state to 600ยฐC is predicted reasonably well using the models proposed by Bluhm Proc. ASTM 61, 1324 (1961) and by Hahn er al
hharaet--A compact form of C-shape fracture toughness test specimen is investigated. The specimen can be taken from thick-walled cylinders with greater material economy than the proposed ASTM C-shape, but is more difficult to manufacture. The K-calibration is identical with the ASTM compact tension
A procedure, economic in both labour and material, is proposed for determining fracture toughness for small specimens; results are discussed for a total of 105 specimens drawn from five different materials.
