Abstract
The main stages of developing the methods for estimating the mechanical properties of rolled plates across the plate thickness (Z properties) and the corresponding standards are described in a chronological manner. The application of experimental fracture mechanics methods for estimating the sensitivity of building steels to laminated fracture is discussed. The effects of the structure dispersity, the steel purity in non-metallic inclusions, and the reduction on the Z properties of rolled products are described.
