Structural Steel ASTM A709—Behavior at Uniaxial Tests Conducted at Lowered and Elevated Temperatures, Short-Time Creep Response, and Fracture Toughness Calculation.

This paper presents the temperature dependence of the mechanical properties of structural high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) ASTM A709 Gr50 steel (En10025: S355 JO; DIN: ST 52-3U). Engineering stress-strain diagrams at lowered and elevated temperatures are presented. Creep responses for selected constant stresses at selected temperatures are also presented and are fit with a rheological model. Additionally, a relation between impact toughness and fracture toughness is proposed and is validated using results from notch impact tests on a Charpy pendulum impact machine. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
