Abstract The room temperature modulus of rupture (MOR) and the plane strain fracture toughness (K IC) of two Co-Mo-Cr-Si wear resistant alloys in various microstructure conditions have been determined. The modulus of rupture varied from 304 to 927 MN m−2 and as such was more structure sensitive thanK IC, which was in the range 15 to 26 MN m−3/2 for all conditions of the alloys. The best combination of room-temperature properties was associated with an f c c solid solution whereas h c p solid solution with a Widmanstätten precipitate produced the poorest properties. The industrial significance of these results are discussed.
