Abstract
A method for determining the critical value of the Cockcroft–Latham damage criterion is presented using the example of R260 railway steel. The determinations were performed using a rotary compression test specially developed for that purpose. The main object of the proposed test was to provide the best possible representation of the state of stress generated by cross-wedge rolling. The rotary compression test was performed in two stages: in the first stage, experimental tests were conducted to establish the moment of cracking of the specimen, and in the second stage, numerical modeling was used to determine the critical value of the Cockcroft–Latham criterion for the experimentally established cracking moment. The critical value of the Cockcroft–Latham criterion was determined under hot forming conditions.
