What is the fracture toughness for A356-T6 and where is it documented? Any good books out there for fatigue/fracture toughness values? Thanks

ASM's 2nd Ed of the Metals Handbook has a chart (Fig. 4) on pg. 496 showing the change in Plain-Strain Fracture Toughness versus the change in Yield Strength.  The detail is not great, but values seem to range from 18-24 ksi root inches.
