Description It is not recommended to use upper shelf CTOD or upper shelf Charpy energy as measures of crack arrestibilty in a material as there is no correlation between the two. However, there is some potential in using T27J from Charpy tests, suggesting that the crack arrest behavior is affected more by lower shelf or transition properties.
