Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 12737 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of metals, Subcommittee
SC 4, Toughness testing — Fracture (F), Pendulum (P), Tear (T).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 12737:1996), which has been technically
revised. It includes the changes in Draft Amendement 1:2004, Recommendations relating to specimen test
temperature and crack-plane orientation.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 12737:2005(E)

Metallic materials — Determination of plane-strain fracture
toughness
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the ISO method for determining the plane-strain fracture toughness of
homogeneous metallic materials using a specimen that is notched and precracked by fatigue, and subjected
to slowly increasing crack displacement force.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
ISO 7500-1:2004, Metallic materials — Verification of static uniaxial testing machines — Part 1:
Tension/compression testing machines — Verification and calibration of the force-measuring system
ISO 9513:1999, Metallic materials — Calibration of extensometers used in uniaxial testing
3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
plane-strain stress intensity factor
K
I
magnitude of the elastic stress field at the tip of a crack subjected to opening mode displacement (mode I)

measure, by the operational procedure of this method, of a material's resistance to crack extension when the
state of stress near the crack tip is predominantly plane strain and plastic deformation is limited
NOTE It is the critical value of K at which significant crack extension occurs on increasing load with high constraint to
I
plastic deformation.
3.3
crack-plane orientation
method for relating the plane and direction of crack extension to the characteristic directions of the product
NOTE A hyphenated code is used wherein the letter(s) preceding the hyphen represent(s) the direction normal to the
crack plane, and the letter(s) following the hyphen represent(s) the anticipated direction of crack extension (see Figure 1).
For wrought metals, the letter X always denotes the direction of principal deformation (maximum grain flow in the product),
the letter Y the direction of least deformation, and the letter Z the direction normal to the X-Y plane. If specimen directions

do not coincide with the product's characteristic directions, then two letters are used to denote the normal to the crack
plane and/or the expected direction of crack extension [see Figure 1 b)]. If there is no grain flow direction (as in a casting),
reference axes may be arbitrarily assigned but must be clearly identified.

V
displacement measured at or near the notch mouth

5 Principle
This method covers the determination of the plane-strain fracture toughness (K ) of metallic materials by
Ic
increasing-force tests of fatigue-precracked test specimens. Details of the test specimens and experimental
procedures are given in Annexes B and C. Force versus notch opening displacement is recorded
autographically, or converted to digital form for accumulation in a computer information storage facility and
subsequent processing. The force corresponding to 2 % apparent crack extension is established by a
specified deviation from the linear portion of the test record. If certain validity requirements are satisfied, the
value of K is calculated from this force.

Figure 1 — Crack-plane identification
The property K characterizes the resistance of a material to fracture in the presence of a sharp crack under
Ic
severe tensile constraint, such that
a) the state of stress near the crack front approaches plane strain, and
b) the crack-tip plastic zone is small compared to the crack size, specimen thickness, and ligament ahead of
the crack.
K is believed to represent a lower limiting value of fracture toughness in the environment and at the
Ic
temperature of test.
Cyclic or sustained loads can cause crack extension at K values less than K . Crack extension under cyclic
I Ic
or sustained loads can be influenced by temperature and environment. Therefore, when K is applied to the
Ic
design of service components, differences between laboratory test and field conditions should be considered.

6 Apparatus
6.1 Testing machine and force measurement
The testing machine shall be calibrated in accordance with ISO 7500-1 and shall be of at least grade 1. The
testing machine shall have provisions for autographic recording of the force applied to the specimen;
alternatively, a computer data acquisition system may be used to record force and displacement for
subsequent analysis. The combination of force-sensing device and recording system shall permit the force F
Q
(as defined in Clause 10) to be determined from the test record to ± 1 %.
6.2 Fatigue cracking machine
When possible, the fatigue machine and force-indicating device shall be calibrated statically in accordance
with ISO 7500-1 and shall have a grade of at least 2. If the machine cannot be calibrated statically, the applied
force shall be known to ± 2,5 %. Careful alignment of the specimen and fixturing is necessary to encourage
straight fatigue cracks. The fixturing shall be such that the stress distribution is uniform across the specimen
thickness and symmetrical about the plane of the prospective crack.

The displacement-gauge electrical output shall represent the relative displacement (V) of two precisely located
gauge positions spanning th
