Simultaneous Improvement in Mechanical Properties and Fatigue Crack Propagation Resistance of Low Carbon Offshore Structural Steel EH36 by Cu–Cr Microalloying

Improving the mechanical performance of low-carbon offshore steel is of great significance in shipbuilding applications. In this paper, a new Cu-Cr microalloyed offshore structural steel (FH36) was developed based on EH36. The microstructure, mechanical properties, and fatigue crack propagation prop...
