Abstract
A J$_{IC}$ test procedure by ultrasonic method performed to observe the crack opening behavior of fatigue precrack and detect the initiation of crack propagation of compact tension specimen in this paper. Pulse-echo method with 5 MHz transducer was used on the Cr-Mo steel quenched and tempered at 593.deg. C. We obtained the following results in the elastic-plastic fracture toughness test by ultrasonic method. Echo height is a little increased linearly and rapidly at the early stage of loading . Then it is decreased considerably, finally at the unstable crack growth stage, it is rapidly increased at an unpredictable rae. The initiation of crack propagation is supposed to be at the stage deviated from linearly decreased region and then blunted. J$_{IC}$ value(10.15-12.15 Kgf/mm) by ultrasonic method is lower than that(12.2 Kgf/mm) by R-curve method. But, it is required that the research for the more exact evaluation about correlation between echo height and the crack opening behavior of precrack tip will be continued. continued.ued.
본 논문에서는 이러한 점을 감안하여 SCM4(KS규격)재에 대해서 Unloading Co- mpliance법 및 초음파법에 의한 크랙개시점검출을 시도한 결과로부터 파괴인성시험에 있어서 초음파법의 유요성을 밝히고저 한다.
