Avoiding Brittle Fracture in Ship Plates

TAGS: fracture | brittle | plates |

Brittle fracture is a major concern in the shipping industry, and it can have catastrophic consequences if not addressed properly. Brittle fracture occurs when a material, in this case, ship plates, suddenly and unexpectedly fails under stress, leaving behind a clean and smooth fracture surface. This type of fracture is caused by low-temperature conditions combined with high stress levels and low toughness of the material.
