Abstract
In this study, a method to predict fracture toughness of aged cast austenitic stainless steels (CASSs) using small punch (SP) test and finite element (FE) analysis is proposed. Grade CF8M is considered and thermally aged up to 5,000 hours at 400°C. SP tests and fracture toughness test using compact tension (C(T)) specimen are conducted with virgin (unaged) and aged CF8M. FE analyses performed in this study use ductile fracture simulation technique with 'the multi-axial fracture strain model'. The multi-axial fracture strain model for each aged CF8M are determined from SP test data and FE analyses. Fracture toughness of aged CF8M are predicted by conducting fracture toughness test simulations using FE damage analyses. Predicted fracture toughness results are compared with C(T) data to validate the method suggested in this study. The predicted initiation toughness values are predicted well and fracture toughness values are slightly conservative compared to test data.
