Tests to evaluate the effect of carbon content on the fatigue resistance of fishplate steel (BS 47B) (TM-FM-12)

BS 47B fishplate steel can have a Carbon content ranging from 0.30% to 0.42%. This memorandum describes a series of tests carried out on a fishplate steel containing 0.37% Carbon. A comparison is made between the cyclic properties of this steel and a similar fishplate steel, tested previously, containing 0.30%...
