Experiments are also surveyed and validated by ABAQUS. Results showed the greatest KIC value for BM (CT: 110.40 /CVN: 98.72 MPa√m) and the least for FN9 (CT: 72.20/CVN: 60.08 MPa√m). FSP caused brittle behavior but not as much as FSP Nano-coating. The calculation of CT samples was done in Gerson theory by using of LEFM formulas. Investigations showed more reliability for CVN obtained results. The KIC and ductile fracture decreased after FSP for both CVN and CT.
