2、 in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.1NOTET

3、able 2 was corrected editorially in October 2016.1. Scope1.1 This specification2covers the procedures and accep-tance standards for the determination of reduction of area usinga tension test specimen whose axis is perpendicular to therolled surfaces of steel plates 1 in. 25 mm and greater inthicknes

4、s. The principal purpose of the testing is to provide ameasure of the resistance of a steel plate to lamellar tearing.(See Appendix X1.)1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units areshown in brackets. The values stated in

5、 each system are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with the specification.1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound andSI units. However, unless the order specifies the

6、 applicable“M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall befurnished to inch-pound units.2.

LAMELLAR TEARING ADJACENT TO WELDSX1.1 IntroductionX1.1.1 Lamellar tearing is a particular type of cracking thatoccurs under the weld of

35、a steel plate weldment. It is generallycaused by strain induced in the thickness direction resultingfrom shrinkage of the weld deposit and by the restraintimposed by the components that comprise the weldment. Highrestraint increases the possibility of lamellar tearing. However,lamellar tearing is no

36、t solely confined to highly restrainedweldments. Lamellar tearing may also result from loads on theplate surface.X1.2 Characteristics of Lamellar TearingX1.2.1 Lamellar tearing normally occurs in susceptiblematerial underneath the weld, in a direction generally parallelto the plate surface and often

37、 slightly outside the heat-affectedzone. Lamellar tearing generally has a step-like appearanceconsisting of “terraces” (cracks running parallel to the platesurface) and “walls” (cracks which connect the individualterraces). The tearing may remain completely subsurface orappear at plate edges or at w

38、eld toes.X1.3 InclusionsX1.3.1 The step-like cracking characteristic of lamellartearing is usually considered to result from small elongatednonmetallic inclusions that are normally present in the steel.Strains in the through-thickness direction can cause individualinclusions to fractures or decohere

39、 from the surrounding steelmatrix, thus initiating a void. Further strain can cause theremaining metallic ligaments to shear or rupture, resulting inthe step-like fracture appearance.X1.3.2 A high or concentrated inclusion content in the steelproduces planar regions of poor ductility parallel to the

40、 steelsurface. On the other hand, a reduction in the magnitude andconcentration of these inclusions to a low level tends topreclude any easy fracture path along the low ductility inclu-sions and the steel exhibits improved ductility in a through-thickness direction.X1.3.3 The extent of nonmetallic i

41、nclusions depends on thetype of steel. In silicon semikilled or fully killed steels, theseinclusions are primarily oxides (present as silicates) andsulfides (present as manganese sulfides). For aluminum-siliconkilled steels, these inclusions are primarily sulfides (manganesesulfides). To improve the

42、 through-thickness ductility and thusthe resistance of the steel to lamellar tearing, it is necessary toreduce the level of the nonmetallic inclusions. To provide ahigh resistance to lamellar tearing may require the use ofspecial steel-making processes that can reduce the oxygen andsulfur contents i

43、n the steel to very low levels.X1.4 Steel Manufacturing ProcessesX1.4.1 Special steel-making processes are available forimproving the through-thickness ductility. The more commonprocesses, used singly or in combination, are: (1) low sulfurpractices; (2) inclusion shape control; (3) electroslag orvac

44、uum arc remelting; and (4) vacuum degassing. The steel-making processes are not all intended for the same purpose, butwill improve the through-thickness ductility to various degreesdepending on the process used.X1.5 Through-Thickness Ductility RequirementsX1.5.1 Susceptibility to lamellar tearing de

45、pends on manyfactors (for example, restraint, welding conditions, etc.) and,consequently a specific through-thickness ductility require-ment does not provide a guarantee against lamellar tearing. Themost widely accepted method of measuring the materialductility factor of susceptibility to lamellar t

46、earing is thereduction of area of a round tension test specimen orientedperpendicular to the rolled surface of a plate.X2. TESTING PARAMETERS AFFECTING REDUCTION OF AREA VALUESX2.1 Variability of Through-Thickness PropertiesX2.1.1 Through-thickness tension test results, and in par-ticular the reduct

47、ion of area determination as provided for inthis specification, are subject to substantially greater scatterthan would normally be expected from standard tension tests ofa plate in the longitudinal or transverse direction. This scatterof test results is due in part to the inherent variability of the

48、distribution of the nonmetallic inclusions discussed in X1.3.For example, those nonmetallic inclusions that form during thesolidification phase of the steelmaking process tend to occurwith a higher frequency in the area of final solidification.X2.1.2 Test specimen design may also have an effect on t

49、hetest results. Some of these factors are discussed in X2.2.Operator technique will also be a factor in increasing scatter,particularly in the measurement of the final diameter of the testspecimen. Because of the effect of inclusions on the fractureprocess, the appearance of the final fracture may be quitedifferent than the classical cup-cone fractures common tolongitudinal and transverse tension testing. For those materialswith approximat
