Fatigue Crack Growth Behavior and Fracture Toughness of EH36 TMCP Steel

The fatigue crack growth behavior and fracture toughness of EH36 thermo-mechanical control process (TMCP) steel were investigated by fatigue crack growth rate testing and fracture toughness testing at room temperature. Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the fracture characteristics of...
