“…In Nomenclature: a, = specimen height (y direction); A, = area in the cross section of the specimen (yz plane); A C1 , = eutectoid temperature; A C3 , = austenitizing temperature; b, = specimen width (z direction); C, = specific heat; D, = density; h, = surface conductance; I, = electric current; P, = perlite phase; s, = perimeter of the cross section of the specimen (yz plane); t, = time; T, = cross-section temperature; T c , = temperature at the control thermocouple; T e , = environmental temperature; T notch , = temperature at the notch cross section; α, = ferrite phase; δ, = skin depth; ϵ m , = strain at maximum force in a tension test at low strain rates; γ, = austenite phase; λ, = thermal conductivity; μ 0 , = free space permeability; μ r , = relative permeability; ρ, = electrical resistivity; ω, = angular frequency of the electric current addition to differences in specimen size and geometry of the notch (flaw size, shape, and acuity), these techniques strongly differ in the strain rate, and correspondingly, a variety of definitions of transition temperature have emerged. The wide range of testing techniques includes tensile tests, 2 Charpy V-notch impact testing, 3,4 Pellini drop-weight tests, 5,6 impact tensile test, 7 and fracture toughness testing using compact tension and single-edge notched bend specimens. 8,9 In recent years, small punch testing 10,11 was also included in the list.…”
