Impact of ε-martensite on the fracture resistance of high-Mn steels1

The formation of ε-martensite is generally considered as detrimental to cracking resistance. The essential work of fracture (EWF) of high-Mn steels with ε-martensite has been determined in the near plane-stress regime. The analysis of the thickness dependence of EWF shows that an alloy with more ε-m...
