A pressure vessel support bracket is to be designed so that it can withstand a tensile loading cycle of 0-500 MN/m2 once every day for 25 years. Which of the following steels would have the greater tolerance to intrinsic defects in this application: (i) a maraging steel (Ke-82 MNm-, C= 0.15 × 10-11, m-41), or (ii) a medium-strength steel (Kic 50 MN m1, C0.24x 10-", m 3.3)? For the loading situation a geometry factor of 1.12 may be assumed.
