The impact resistance of offshore engineering steel is influenced by several factors, including the steel's composition, microstructure, and processing history. The steel's composition, particularly its carbon content, plays a significant role in its impact resistance. Higher carbon content tends to increase the hardness and brittleness of the steel, thus reducing its impact resistance. The steel's microstructure and processing history, on the other hand, affect its toughness and ductility, which are critical properties for impact resistance.
