    Impact Steel
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on comparing the impact toughness of Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) and steel. It highlights that the type of steel significantly influences its toughness, with variations such as carbon steel and alloy steel, as well as different microstructures resulting from various cooling processes. There is an acknowledgment of limited familiarity with GFRP, indicating a need for more information on its properties to make a direct comparison. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the complexity of comparing materials without specific details on the types of steel and GFRP being considered.

Hi guys.
Which one has more impact toughness: GFRP or Steel??
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
No replies..? Guys I just want to compare them in terms of impact toughness.
 
depends what type of steel my friend, you have carbon steel, alloy steel, then you have different microstructures achieved through different cooling processes etc... then again I am not to familiar with GFRP.
