Fracture Behavior of Hadfield Cast Steels Exposed to Impact Loading
Impact toughness of three different samples was evaluated using an instrumented Charpy pendulum combined with fractography performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to analyze the effects of heat treatment and vanadium as alloying element. Samples were made from Mn16V with water quenching and aging (WQA), as well as from Mn16V and Mn16 with WQA and additional aging (WQAA). It was concluded that vanadium reduced impact toughness, whereas the additional aging had practically no effect.
