Abstract
This paper presents results of fracture toughness and Charpy impact tests of 4 steels prepared by metal injection moulding (MIM) method: AISI 4140, 4605, 17-4 PH and SS 420W Grade. Charpy impact testing was performed on the series of machined specimens with sub-size cross-section to obtain values of CVN impact energy. Fracture toughness test method according to ASTM E1820 was performed on SENB specimens, fatigue pre-cracked, to obtain values of KIC. All tests were performed at the room temperature. After the material testing, next step was to evaluate the results and apply known correlation relationships between fracture toughness KIC and Charpy impact CVN energies. Many empirical relations exist and describe existence of such relationship. Procedure was used to correlate energies of sub-size Charpy specimens to full-size specimens. Several proposed correlation relationships from transition and upper shelf region of transition curve were used, where the best correlation was found to be Robert-Newtons with average deviation of 22% in comparison to tested values.
