Effects of seawater corrosion, notch timing, and test temperature on the impact toughness of AISI 1008 marine chain steel
Marine chains operate under corrosive and impact-prone conditions, yet the combined influence of seawater exposure, notch condition and test temperature on their impact toughness remains insufficiently clarified. This study addresses this gap by examining the Charpy V-notch impact response of AISI 1008 steel extracted...
