Cleavage fracture of a 26Cr–1Mo ferritic stainless steel has been studied using fatigue precracked specimens. The parameters determined were fracture toughness, cleavage fracture strength, and effective surface energy of ferrite. The results have been compared with earlier results on notched specimens.
