Abstract

The following serial curves are obtained for a pipe steel of strength class K65 (Kh80): strength and plasticity curves during tension in the temperature range from–80 to +20°C, fracture energy from drop weight tear test (DWTT) diagrams, and impact toughness KCV curves (from–180 to +20°C). The ductile–brittle transition temperature range determined from the DWTT energy is shown to be higher than that determined from a KCV diagram by 80 K. The KCV–40 criterion is concluded to be more reliable than the DWTT–20 criterion. KCV and DWTT tests are shown to reproduce the crack starting conditions in a pipe, and the resistance of a high-strength pipe steel to extended fracture should be estimated using other criteria.
