Scope

This document specifies a test method for the determination of brittle crack arrest temperature (CAT). It is applicable to ferritic and/or bainitic steel base metals exhibiting ductile to brittle transition behaviour. Applicable materials are rolled steel plates. It is intended for steels with a tensile strength of 950 MPa or less and thickness over 6 mm and not greater than 200 mm. The range of arrest temperatures is between − 196 °C and + 100 °C.

This document also specifies the requirements for test method and test procedures when using the isothermal crack arrest test to judge a valid test result under isothermal conditions and in order to determine the crack arrest temperature.
