Abstract:

The scope of this program was the development of a data bank on the toughness of steels which may be considered for marine applications such as ship hulls and drilling structures. Eleven steels of importance are included. Data from a variety of types of toughness tests were included in the database, including Charpy impact, fracture toughness, nil ductility transition, and drop- weight tear tests. The emphasis of this project was on the collection of data, not its detailed analysis, though efforts were made to assure that problems with identity of individual lots or incomplete reporting of test data were dealt with. The Marine Toughness Data Bank was developed both in hard copy, as summarized in this document, and in machine readable form. It is available in a searchable online version on the MPD Network where it is referred to as MARTUF. It is also available on PC disks in the original Lotus 123 format in which it was assembled from the Ship Structures Committee. It is not searchable in this format.
