Extract

Boundary properties between two adjacent grains with different crystallographic orientation relation are important factors in deciding the mechanical properties of materials. The concept of the geometric compatibility factor has been introduced in order to explain the relationship between transfer of deformation mode and crystal orientation. In the same manner, when the brittle crack propagates, grain boundary also obstructs crack propagation. Therefore it is also possible to introduce the concept of geometric compatibility considering the crystallographic orientation in analyzing the crack propagation.

In this study, the characteristics of the brittle crack propagation in bainitic low alloy steel with compositions shown in table 1 have been investigated using EBSD analysis. A 3-point bending test was performed at -100°C and the secondary crack below fracture surface was analyzed in relation to the crystallographic orientation. In order to explain the behavior of crack propagation, modified geometric compatibility factor, M was introduced considering loading axis and crystallographic orientation relationship.
