Average temperature-peak cycles for S355J2+N (black dashed line) and S960QL (grey full line). Characteristics are maximum peak temperature—\({\text{T}}_{ \hbox{max} }\), holding time above 1000 °C—\({\text{t}}_{\text{H}}\), cooling down time from 800 to 500 °C—t _8.5 and heating up rate—\({\dot{\text{T}}}_{\text{heating}}\)
