Fig. 5.4. Pr<strong>of</strong>iles for MnS-inclusion from Fig. 6.3: a) at the moment <strong>of</strong> the <strong>fracture</strong> initiation,<br />

presented as an example.<br />

CODi = 70 µm, b) at the moment <strong>of</strong> void initiation, CODvi = 42 µm.<br />

There is no clear dependence <strong>of</strong> the CODi- <strong>and</strong> CODvi-values on the angle θ <strong>and</strong> the distance<br />

r (Fig. 5.5a,b). No influence <strong>of</strong> the MnS-inclusion diameter on the CODi-values is observed,<br />

as well (Fig. 5.5c). But it is seen that the MnS-inclusions with larger diameters are more<br />

favorable for void initiation: the CODvi-values clearly decrease with increasing inclusion<br />

diameter, d, in the range <strong>of</strong> 2…8 µm.<br />

The maximum interfacial stresses, σ interf max, for MnS-inclusions in the steel St37 are estimated<br />

by Eq. 2.3. They vary between 964 <strong>and</strong> 1478 MPa. A weak influence <strong>of</strong> the distance, r, <strong>and</strong><br />

the angle, θ, on the σ interf max -values is found (Fig. 5.6a,b), as well as a strong dependence <strong>of</strong><br />

the σ interf max-values on the inclusion size. As one can see from Fig. 5.6c, they decrease with<br />

increasing diameter <strong>of</strong> the MnS-inclusion, d.
