Abstract
The aim of the performed investigations was to determine the influence of two different heat treatment procedures, i.e. hardening and tempering vs. austempering, on some mechanical properties, as well as the influence of these procedures on the magnitude of some fracture mechanics parameters for example, crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and J-integral. The experimental investigations were performed on the specimens made of spring steel 65Si7 (chemical composition: 0.69% C, 1.56% Si and 0.90% Mn).
