Abstract

The present work includes fracture toughness testing on 30 and 50 mm thick duplex stainless steel 2205 (22% Cr, 5.5% Ni, 3% Mo, 0.15% N). Base metal and submerged arc weldments (SAW) at subzero temperatures have been tested using full size three point bending. The evaluation of the results has been carried out using J-integral calculations and correlations to Charpy impact values. It is shown that the temperature dependence of the fracture toughness can be described by a transition temperature curve, the master curve. The reference temperature was evaluated to −143 and −101 °C for base and weld material respectively.
