Fracture toughness and related characteristics of the cryogenic nickel steels

This report is intended to summarize the available information published in the last 15 years about the mechanical properties of steels containing 2 1/4 to 9% Ni designed for low-temperature and cryogenic applications. Further, this information is evaluated critically to put a current view of the range of usefulness of these steels at the disposal of practitioners in the field.
