16、e results of tension tests of specimens machined to standardized dimensions from selected portions of a part or materialmay not totally represent the strength and ductility properties of the entire end product or its in-service behavior in differentenvironments.4.3 These test methods are considered

17、satisfactory for acceptance testing of commercial shipments and have been usedextensively in the trade for this purpose.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing MachinesMachines used for tension testing shall conform to the requirements of Practices E4. The forces usedin determining tensile strength and yield streng

18、th shall be within the verified force application range of the testing machine asdefined in Practices E4.5.2 Gripping Devices:5.2.1 GeneralVarious types of gripping devices may be used to transmit the measured load applied by the testing machineto the test specimens. To ensure axial tensile stress w

19、ithin the gage length, the axis of the test specimen must coincide with thecenterline of the heads of the testing machine. Any departure from this requirement may introduce bending stresses that are notincluded in the usual stress computation (load divided by cross-sectional area).NOTE 3The effect o

20、f this eccentric loading may be illustrated by calculating the bending moment and stress thus added. For a standard 12.50-mmdiameter specimen, the stress increase is 1.5 percentage points for each 0.025 mm of eccentricity. This error increases to about 2.3 percentage points/0.025mm for a 9-mm diamet

21、er specimen and to 3.25 percentage points /0.025-mm for a 6-mm diameter specimen.NOTE 4Alignment methods are given in Practice E1012.5.2.2 Wedge GripsTesting machines usually are equipped with wedge grips. These wedge grips generally furnish asatisfactory means of gripping long bars of ductile metal

22、. If, however, for any reason, one grip of a pair advances farther than theother as the grips tighten, an undesirable bending stress may be introduced. When liners are used behind the wedges, they mustbe of the same thickness and their faces must be flat and parallel. For best results, the wedges sh

23、ould be supported over their entirelength by the heads of the testing machine. This requires that liners of several thicknesses be available to cover the range ofspecimen thickness. For proper gripping, it is desirable that the entire length of the serrated face of each wedge be in contact withthe s

24、pecimen. Proper alignment of wedge grips and liners is illustrated in Fig. 1. For short specimens it is generally necessary touse machined test specimens and to use a special means of gripping to ensure that the specimens, when under load, shall be asnearly as possible in uniformly distributed pure

25、axial tension (see 5.2.35.2.3 5.2.5, 5.2.4, and 5.2.5).5.2.3 Grips for Threaded and Shouldered SpecimensA schematic diagram of a gripping device for threaded-end specimensis shown in Fig. 2, while Fig. 3 shows a device for gripping specimens with shouldered ends. Both of these gripping devices shoul

26、dbe attached to the heads of the testing machine through properly lubricated spherical-seated bearings. The distance betweenspherical bearings should be as large as feasible.5.2.4 Grips for Sheet MaterialsThe self-adjusting grips shown in Fig. 4 have proved satisfactory for testing sheet materialsth

27、at cannot be tested satisfactorily in the usual type of wedge grips.5.2.5 Grips for WireGrips of either the wedge or snubbing types as shown in Fig. 4Figs. 4 and 5 and Fig. 5or flat wedge gripsmay be used.5.3 Dimension-Measuring DevicesMicrometers and other devices used for measuring linear dimensio

28、ns shall be accurate andprecise to at least one half the smallest unit to which the individual dimension is required to be measured.5.4 ExtensometersExtensometers used in tensile testing shall conform to the requirements of Practice E83 for theclassifications specified by the procedure section of th

29、ese test methods. Extensometers shall be used and verified to include thestrains corresponding to the yield strength and elongation at fracture (if determined).5.4.1 Extensometers with gage lengths equal to or shorter than the nominal gage length of the specimen (dimension shown as“G-gage Length” in

30、 the accompanying figures) may be used to determine the yield behavior. For measuring elongation at fracturewith an appropriate extensometer, the gage length of the extensometer shall be equal to the nominal gage length required for thespecimen being tested.FIG. 1 Wedge Grips with Liners for Flat Sp

Test Specimen6.1 General:6.1.1 Test specimens shall be of the full section of the material whenever practical. Otherwise, machined specimens ofrectangular or round cross se

32、ction shall be used.6.1.2 Improperly prepared test specimens often are the reason for unsatisfactory and incorrect test results. It is important,therefore, that care be exercised in the preparation of specimens, particularly in the machining, to ensure the desired precision andbias in test results.6

33、.1.3 The cross-sectional area of the specimen should be smallest at the center of the reduced section to ensure fracture withinthe gage length. For this reason, a small taper is permitted in the reduced section of each of the specimens described in thefollowing sections.FIG. 4 Gripping Devices for S

34、heet and Wire SpecimensFIG. 5 Snubbing Device for Testing WireB557M 1546.1.4 Rectangular specimens shall be 12.50 mm wide in accordance with Fig. 6 or Fig. 7 (for tubular products), and shall beof the full thickness of the material when practical. When necessary, 6.00-mm wide subsize specimens as sh

35、own in Fig. 6 may beused, but elongation values from such specimens are not applicable to specification requirements.6.1.4.1 Pin ends as shown in Fig. 8 may be used. In order to avoid buckling in tests of thin and high-strength materials, it maybe necessary to use stiffening plates at the grip ends.

36、6.1.5 Round specimens shall be the standard 12.50-mm diameter specimen in Fig. 9, except when the dimensions of the productmake this impossible. In such cases, small-size specimens proportional to the standard specimen shown in Fig. 9 may be used.Unless otherwise specified in the product specificati

37、on, the selection of round tensile specimens shall be as specified in Table 1.Unless permitted by the product specification, the diameter of the reduced section of the smallest specimen used shall not be lessthan 4 mm for wrought products and 6 mm for cast products.6.1.5.1 The shape of the ends of t

38、he specimen outside of the gage length shall be suitable to the material and of a shape to fitthe holders or grips of the testing machine so that the loads are applied axially. Fig. 10 shows specimens with various types of endsthat have given satisfactory results.6.1.6 Special care is required in th

39、e manufacture and testing of smaller specimens because the effects of machining (forexample, the amount of end load applied and the amount of heat generated) and testing (for example, eccentricity and gagemarking) variables are greater upon them than upon larger specimens. Therefore, the largest pra

40、ctical specimen shall always beused. With some types of materials, notably castings, the result of tests of small specimens may be more variable due to theincreasing significance of variations in metallic structure or the character of the surfaces. Low values derived from small specimensshould be ca

41、refully evaluated in accordance with 8.1 to be certain that the results are valid.6.1.7 While tensile strengths and yield strengths can properly be compared with results derived from test specimens of variousdimensions, elongation values may vary with specimen size and type. Therefore, elongation va

42、lues should be obtained withspecimens of the type from which the published tensile properties were established.6.2 Type, Direction, and Location in Wrought ProductsThis paragraph and subparagraphs provide the standard requirementsfor the testing of wrought products for the purpose of quality control

43、 and lot release testing.

45、he reduced section shall not differ in width by more than 0.06 mm for the 50.00-mm gage length specimen or 0.025 mm forthe 25.00-mm gage length specimen. There may be a gradual taper in width from the ends of the reduced section to the center, but the width at each endshall not be more than 1 % grea

46、ter than the width at the center.NOTE 2For each of the specimens, narrower widths (W and C) may be used when necessary. In such cases the width of the reduced section shouldbe as large as the width of the material being tested permits: however, unless stated specifically, the requirements for elonga

47、tion in a product specificationshall not apply when these narrower specimens are used. If the width of the material is less than W, the sides may be parallel throughout the length ofthe specimen.NOTE 3The dimension T is the thickness of the test specimen as stated in the applicable material specific

48、ations. Maximum nominal thicknesses of12.5-mm and 6-mm wide specimens shall be 12.5 mm and 6 mm, respectively.NOTE 4To aid in obtaining axial loading during testing of 6-mm wide specimens, the overall length should be as large as the material will permit,up to 200 mm.NOTE 5It is desirable, if possib

49、le, to make the length of the grip section large enough to allow the specimen to extend into the grips a distance equalto two thirds or more of the length of the grips. If the thickness of 12.5-mm wide specimens is over 9 mm, longer grips and correspondingly longer gripsections of the specimens may be necessary to prevent failure in the grip section.NOTE 6The grip-end centerline of the 12.5-mm wide and 6-mm wide specimens shall coincide with the centerline of the reduced section within 0.2mm and 0.1 mm, respectively.FIG. 6 Rectangular T
