CTOD test

CTOD test is one of test methods to determine fracture toughness (fracture resistance) of a material with a crack, and a test to determine crack tip opening displacement to generate unstable fracture (limit CTOD value).

Test Procedure:

Preparation of test piece → Introduction of a fatigue pre-crack → CTOD testing → Appearance of fracture surface → Measurement of fracture surface → Evaluation → Preparation of report

We can provide one-stop service for the above procedure from test piece preparation to reporting.

Fracture toughness testing:

Fracture toughness tests measure a material’s ability to resist the growth or propagation of a pre-existing flaw. The flaw or defect may be in the form of a fatigue crack, void, or any other inconsistency in the test material. Fracture toughness tests are performed by machining a test sample with a pre-existing crack and then cyclically applying a load to each side of the crack so that it experiences forces that cause it to grow. The cyclic load is applied until the sample’s crack grows. The number of cycles to fracture is recorded and used to determine the material’s fracture growth characteristics.

Purpose of fracture toughness testing:

Fracture toughness is the stress that causes a pre-existing crack or flaw to grow or propagate. It is an important material property in the manufacturing industry, since the presence of flaws is not completely avoidable. The stress intensity factor, which is a function of the flaw size, geometry, and loading, is used to determine a material’s fracture toughness. A material’s stress intensity factor and fracture toughness are related to one another in the same manner that stress and tensile stress are related to each other.

Types of fracture toughness tests:

For the majority of fracture toughness tests there are three different modes of fracture for crack propagation. Mode 1 requires that the applied load be in the normal direction of the crack plane. In mode 2 the load is applied along the length of the crack plane. Finally, for mode 3 the load is applied across the width of the crack plane. Generally there are two different configurations for the test sample: single edge notch bend (three point bending) and compact tension. A three point bending specimen has the initial crack located at the midsection on the opposite side from the point where the midsection load is applied with opposing points of force located at each end on the same side as the crack. A compact tension specimen is oriented so the load is applied on each side of the crack in a way that extends the width of the crack.

Types of materials tested with fracture toughness tests:

Nearly all manufactured materials will contain defects, flaws, or cracks to some magnitude and may experience fracture due to these inconsistencies, and when or if this does occur the fracture toughness of that material will be exhibited. The materials that are most commonly tested for fracture toughness are similar to those tested in fatigue tests but have slightly different orientations. These materials include metals, plastics, ceramics, and composites among others as well as many other rigid substrates that may contain defects.

Examination of fractured test specimens led to the observation that the crack faces had moved apart prior to fracture, due to the blunting of an initially sharp crack by plastic deformation. The degree of crack blunting increased in proportion to the toughness of the material. Irwin later postulated that crack-tip plasticity makes the crack behave as if it were slightly longer. Thus, estimation of CTOD can be done by solving for the displacement at the physical crack tip. CTOD is a single parameter that accommodates crack tip plasticity. It is easy to measure when compared with techniques such as J integral. It is a fracture parameter that has more physical meaning than the rest. However, the equivalence of CTOD and J integral is proven only for non-linear materials, but not for plastic materials. It is hard to expand the concept of CTOD for large deformations. It is easier to calculate J-integral in case of a design process using finite element method techniques. A CTOD test is usually done on materials that undergo plastic deformation prior to failure. The testing material more or less resembles the original one, although dimensions can be reduced proportionally. Loading is done to resemble the expected load. More than 3 tests are done to minimize any experimental deviations. The dimensions of the testing material must maintain proportionality. The specimen is placed on the work table and a notch is created exactly at the centre. The crack should be generated such that the defect length is about half the depth. The load applied on the specimen is generally a three-point bending load. A type of strain gauge called a crack-mouth clip gage is used to measure the crack opening. The critical load and strain gauge measurements at the load are noted and a graph is plotted. The crack tip opening can be calculated from the length of the crack and opening at the mouth of the notch. According to the material used, the fracture can be brittle or ductile which can be concluded from the graph. Early experiments used a flat, paddle-shaped gauge that was inserted into the crack; as the crack opens, the paddle gauge rotates and an electronic signal is sent to an x—y plotter. This method was inaccurate, however, because it was difficult to reach the crack tip with the paddle gauge. Today, the displacement V at the crack mouth is measured and the CTOD is inferred by assuming that the specimen halves are rigid and rotate about a hinge point. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

WHEN TO POST WELD HEAT TREAT #15 Inside weight hardware benchmarks, the necessity for post-weld heat treatment is to a great extent a component of the material and the thickness. The material (as far as combination content) and the thickness (according to the extinguishing impact) control the microstructure that will be framed. Enormous segment thicknesses in compound steels can result in martensitic, pearlitic or bainitic structures, contingent upon the cooling rate, and this is generally constrained by the utilization of preheating. Also, the thicker the material that is welded, the more noteworthy the measure of lingering pressure that will be created on cooling. For the run of the mill carbon-manganese steels, the thickness at which post-weld heat treatment becomes compulsory is predictable in the 32 – 38 mm go for the greater part of the Codes being used in Australia. The explanation behind every standard picking a particular thickness isn’t totally clear, yet little has changed in the course of recent years. What is fascinating however is that tests led in the mid-1970s indicated that completely limited butt welds in carbon-manganese steels could create remaining worries in the overabundance of the yield pressure at a thickness of around 35 mm. With composite steels, the thickness at which post-weld heat treatment becomes obligatory is significantly less. Regularly, the range is 13 – 20 mm, and even underneath 13 mm, a progression of severe conditions must be met before post-weld heat treatment can be deferred. It is clear hence, that with composite steels, the removal of remaining pressure isn’t the main thought for the use of post-weld heat treatment. Post weld heat treatment of auxiliary steels is practically unbelievable. Indeed, even in the seaward industry, the Nodes and K-joints on the jackets are never again post-weld heat treated. At the point when that industry was in its earliest stages, post-weld heat treatment was compulsory and was applied, however next to no CTOD data was accessible at that point, and the materials being used endured laminar tearing. That has all changed now, and not many joints require any consideration today. Additionally, the gigantic machines being used in the mining business are not exposed to post-weld heat treatment, and it isn’t tended to in the scope of basic welding measures, AS 1554 sections 1 to 6. Thusly, the point is basically restricted to the weight hardware industry. continue………..

Metals are used for manufacturing several materials. In order to check their compatibility with vigorous atmosphere, ctod test for metals is carried out. CTOD or Crack-Tip Opening Displacement is a test where Fracture toughness of metal is checked. With the help of this test, it is assessed whether the metal can readily be used in strenuous conditions or not. Deformation of metal is also identified as a part of ctod test for metals.
