Abstract
The lack of design rules limits the application of Very
High Strength Steels (VHSS). One critical point limiting
their use lies in their poorly documented low-temperature
fracture properties in relation to more conventional
steels. The two major concepts governing the assessment
of steel construction codes are the Master Curve (MC)
methodology and the T0 - TCV28J transition temperature
correlation. Focusing on novel, directly quenched,
high-performance steels, we investigated the
applicability of the Master Curve methodology with
special emphasis on the low-temperature region and
checked the validity of the standard T0 -TCV28J
transition temperature correlation. Improvements to the
criteria are proposed for further consideration.
