Abstract
The plane strain tensile test is described. The ‘plane strain sensitivity’ of steel is shown not to be a simple function of yield stress - the orientation and type of void forming particles being important factors. For a forging steel the plane strain fracture strain is shown to be related to the work hardening rate. The use of plane strain fracture strains for the prediction of fracture toughness values is discussed.
