Tenacità a frattura e resistenza a fatica di acciai bonificati con microstrutture derivanti da tempra incompleta e riflessi sulle norme tecniche di impiego by D. Firrao, P. Matteis

“…Componenti meccanici di acciai allo stato bonificato, caratterizzati da microstrutture miste derivanti da condizioni di tempra incompleta, si incontrano frequentemente nella pratica costruttiva, a causa della tendenza verso acciai progressivamente meno legati o a causa di componenti con sezioni piuttosto elevate.La bassa resistenza all’intaglio di microstrutture miste è stata messa in evidenza già negli anni ’50, ma da allora non è stata più oggetto di indagine e si è trascurato, anche nella normativa, di metterne in evidenza la pericolosità.Quando alla martensite rinvenuta ed alla bainite si accompagnano anche perlite e ferrite, la tenacità alla frattura scende a livelli estremamente pericolosi. …”
