Fracture stress data obtained by tensile testing of circumferentially notched round tensile specimens made of 20MnMoNi55 and SA333 (Grade 6) steels at different subzero temperatures down to -150 degrees C have been analysed following Weibull statistics. It is observed that between -50 and -100 degrees C the mean Weibull modulus of 20MnMoNi55 steel obtained by employing linear regression technique over the complete range of data population for every test temperature increases in a perfectly linear manner with lowering of test temperature. A sharp decrease in the modulus value with further decrease of test temperature to -150 degrees C is observed. The data population for -50 and -70 degrees C, however, do not agree well with single straight-line relationship of Weibull statistics. In case of SA333 (Grade 6) steel nearly two fold increase in the value of mean Weibull modulus is observed on lowering of test temperature from -100 degrees C to -150 degrees C. Scanning electron fractography reveals different failure modes in both the steels depending upon test temperatures. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
