Temper embrittlement can be identified by a(n) shift in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature measured in a Charpy impact test.
Temper embrittlement can be identified by a(n) shift in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature measured in a Charpy impact test.
Temper embrittlement is the reduction in fracture toughness due to a metallurgical change that can occur in some low-alloy steels as a result of long-term exposure in the temperature range of about 650°F to 1070°F (345°C to 575°C). This change causes an upward shift in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature as measured by Charpy impact testing.
