Abstract
The mechanical properties of two heats of HY180 steel are compared after aging at 425 °C or 510 °C. The two heats of material appear very similar microstructurally, except most of the sulfides in one are believed to be titanium carbosulfides, while the sulfides in the other heat appear to be manganese sulfides. At both aging temperatures, the crack tip opening displacement at fracture (δIC) of the heat containing the titanium carbosulfides is over twice that of the heat containing the manganese sulfides. Measurements of the void volume fracture as a function of strain indicate that the titanium carbosulfide particles are much more resistant to void nucleation than are the manganese sulfide particles. The unusually high toughness of the heat containing the titanium carbosulfides is attributed to this increased resistance to void nucleation.
