Abstract: A new method of fracture toughness K1C prediction for material with arbitrary stress-strain curve by using cleavage fracture local approach is proposed in this paper. The fracture toughness of civil made steel as A508-Ⅲ 16MnR at different cleavage fracture probability are predicted by using the method. To most of pressure vessel carbon-manganese steels, cleavage fracture is likely to occur at the load corresponding to 62% cle-avage fracture probability. Hence, the fracture toughness corre-sponding to the load is the most possible fracture toughness of steels. The values of fracture toughness corresponding to 62% cleavage fracture probability is close to that of experiment.
