Abstract

Voids formed around the tip of a stably growing crack in SM50A steel were observed in every 10 μm thickness of the specimen through an optical microscope. The results showed that the shape of voids was disklike, the thickness of which was in the direction of the specimen thickness. The void dimensions increased with the J-integral level, maintaining a similar configuration. The density of void distribution ahead of the stable crack became higher as the J-integral level increased, but it was so low that coalescence of the voids and the crack resulted in a zigzag crack front.
