United States1If Poissons ratio is unknown, it can be assumed as anapproximation in the method. For nuclear graphites, a typicalPoissons ratio of 0.2 corresponds to a Poissons factor of 0.9.If t

16、he wavelength is not a small fraction of the sample lateraldimensions, and instead is much larger than the specimenlateral dimensions, then the Youngs modulus, E is given by Eq1 with Cset to one rather than being determined by Eq 2.5. Significance and Use5.1 Sonic velocity measurements are useful fo

17、r comparingmaterials with similar elastic properties, dimensions, andmicrostructure.5.2 Eq 1 provides an accurate value of Youngs modulusonly for isotropic, non-attenuative, and non-dispersive materi-als of infinite dimensions. For non-isotropic graphite, Eq 1 canbe modified to take into account the

18、 Poissons ratios in alldirections. As graphite is a strongly attenuative material, thevalue of Youngs modulus obtained with Eq 1 will be depen-dent on specimen length. If the specimen lateral dimensions arenot large compared to the wavelength of the propagated pulse,then the value of Youngs modulus

19、obtained with Eq 1 will bedependent on the specimen lateral dimensions. The accuracy ofthe Youngs modulus calculated from Eq 1 will also dependupon the uncertainty in Poissons ratio and its impact on theevaluation of the Poissons factor in Eq 2. However, a value forYoungs modulus can be obtained for

20、 many applications,which is often in good agreement with the value obtained byother more accurate methods, such as in Test Method C747.The technical issues and typical values of correspondinguncertainties are discussed in detail in STP 1578.55.3 If the grain size of the carbon or graphite is greater

21、 thanor about equal to the wavelength of the sonic pulse, the methodmay not be providing a value of Youngs modulus representa-tive of the bulk material. Therefore, it would be recommendedto test a lower frequency (longer wavelength) to demonstratethat the range of obtained velocity values are within

22、 anacceptable level of accuracy. Significant signal attenuationshould be expected when the grain size of the material isgreater than or about equal to the wavelength of the transmittedsonic pulse or the material is more porous than would beexpected for an as-manufactured graphite.NOTE 1Due to freque

23、ncy dependent attenuation in graphite, thewavelength of the sonic pulse through the test specimen is not necessarilythe same as the wavelength of the transmitting transducer.5.4 If the sample is only a few grains thick, the acceptabilityof the methods application should be demonstrated by initiallyp

24、erforming measurements on a series of tests covering a rangeof sample lengths between the proposed test length and a testlength incorporating sufficient grains to adequately representthe bulk material.6. Apparatus6.1 Driving Circuit, consisting of an ultrasonic pulse gen-erator.6.1.1 The user should

25、 select a pulse frequency to suit thematerial microstructure and specimen elastic properties anddimensions being tested. High frequencies are attenuated bycarbon and graphite materials and, while typical practicablefrequencies lie in the range 0.5 MHz to 2.6 MHz, the user mayshow that frequencies ou

26、tside this range are acceptable.6.2 Transducer, input, with suitable coupling medium (see8.5).6.3 Transducer, output, with suitable coupling medium (see8.5).6.3.1 The signal output will depend upon the characteristicsof the chosen transducers and pulser-receiver and the testmaterial. It is recommend

27、ed that the user analyses the input andoutput frequency spectra to determine optimum conditions.Band pass filters and narrow band transducers may be used tosimplify the signal output which could improve the measure-ment of the time of flight.6.4 Computer, with analogue to digital converter, oroscill

28、oscope, and external trigger from driving circuit.6.5 See Fig. 1 for a typical schematic setup.NOTE 2Some manufacturers combine items 6.1 and 6.4 into a singlepackage with direct time readout. Such apparatus can operatesatisfactorily, provided the frequency of the propagated pulse is alreadyknown, i

Test Specimen7.1 Selection and Preparation of SpecimensTake specialcare to assure obtaining representative specimens that arestraight, uniform in cross section, and free of extraneousliquids. The specimen end faces shall be

30、 perpendicular to thespecimen cylindrical surface to within 0.125 mm total indicatorreading.7.2 Measurement of Weight and DimensionsDeterminethe weight and the average specimen dimensions to within60.2 %.7.3 Limitations on DimensionsThese cannot be preciselyspecified as they will depend upon the pro

31、perties of thematerial being tested and the experimental setup (for example,transducer frequency). In order to satisfy the theory thatsupports Eq 1, as a guide, the specimen should have a diameterthat is at least a factor five, greater than the wavelength ofsound in the material under test. In pract

32、ice, the length of thespecimen will be determined taking account of the commentsin 5.3 and 5.4.7.4 Limitations on Ultrasonic Pulse FrequencyGenerallyspeaking, a better accuracy of time of flight will be obtained athigher frequencies. However, attenuation increases at higherfrequencies leading to wea

33、k and distorted signals.8. Procedure8.1 For any given apparatus and choice of couplingmedium, it is necessary to follow procedures to quantify thezero time, T0, and end correction time, Te, correction factors. T0will be dependent upon the type of transducers and theirperformance over time and should

34、 be regularly checked (see5ASTM Selected Technical Papers, STP 1578, Graphite Testing for NuclearApplications: The Significance of Test Specimen Volume and Geometry and theStatistical Significance of Test Specimen Population, 2014, edited by Tzelepi andCarroll.C769 1528.8). It must be quantified if

35、the test setup is changed. Teshouldbe small and reflects the interaction between the couplingmedium and the test material. Teshould be determined once fora specific measurement setup and test material.8.1.1 Determine whether an end correction time, Te,isevident in the time of flight by performing ti

36、me of flightmeasurements on various length samples taken from a singlebar. As modulus is likely to vary from sample to sample therecommended approach is to continually bisect a long rod,measuring each bi-section, until the required lower limit isreached. The end correction time, Te, is obtained from

37、 aregression fit to a graph of time of flight versus sample length.8.2 Measure and weigh the test specimen as in 7.2.8.3 Calculate the density of the test specimen in accordancewith Test Method C559.8.4 Connect the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1, and refer toequipment manufacturers instructions for se

38、tup precautions.Allow adequate time for equipment warm-up and stabilization.8.5 Place the transducers against the test specimen endfaces.8.5.1 A coupling medium may be necessary to improvetransmission of the sonic pulse. In this case, apply a lightcoating of the coupling medium to the faces of the t

39、estspecimens that will contact the transducers. Alternatively,rubber-tipped transducers can be effective if a fully noninva-sive measurement is needed.NOTE 3The following coupling media may be used: hydroxyethylcellulose, petroleum jelly, high vacuum greases and water-based ultra-sonic couplants. Ho

40、wever these may be difficult to remove subsequently.Distilled water can provide a very satisfactory coupling medium withoutsignificant end effects, and surface water may be removed subsequently bydrying. Manufacturers offer rubber-tipped transducers suitable for nonin-vasive measurements. With these

41、 transducers either good load control oraccurate determination of the rubber length is essential during measure-ment if good reproducibility is to be achieved.8.6 Bring transducer faces into intimate contact but do notexceed manufacturers recommended contact pressures.8.7 Follow the vendors instruct

42、ions to adjust the instrumen-tation to match the transducer frequency to give good visualamplitude resolution.8.8 Determine T0, the travel time (zero correction) measuredin seconds, associated with the electronic circuits in thepulse-propagation instrument and coupling (Fig. 2(a). Ensurethat the rep

43、eatability of the measurement is of sufficientprecision to meet the required accuracy in Youngs modulus.8.9 Adjust the gain of electronic components to give goodvisual amplitude resolution.8.10 Determine Tt, the total traverse time from the traces(Fig. 2(b). Ensure that the repeatability of the meas

44、urement isof sufficient precision to meet the required accuracy in Youngsmodulus.8.11 It is good practice to monitor the performance andreproducibility of the sonic velocity equipment by periodicallytesting a reference sample of similar material and geometry tothat typically used by the operator. Th

45、is will monitor driftarising from deterioration in transducer performance. Stan-dards need to be representative of the material being tested andhave a similar geometry.9.
