Charpy toughness for duplex / super duplex stainless steels

   

Toughness requirements should be derived for the structural situation of interest as they will be strongly affected by applied loads and possible flaw dimensions. However, for general use of this type of steel, TWI work has suggested a Charpy requirement of 40J up to a wall thickness of 50mm at the minimum operating temperature.
