1、Designation: B 930 03Standard Test Method forRating Grain Size and Frequency of Abnormally LargeGrains in Cemented Tungsten Carbides (Hardmetals)1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 930; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in

2、the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method describes a procedure for measuringabnormally large grains and the

3、 frequency of those grains incemented tungsten carbides (hardmetals).1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the

Terminology3.1 DefinitionsDefinitions of powder metallurgy termscan be found in Terminology B 243.3.2 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.2.1 E-Ratingthe number/cm2of grains larger than aspecified size

6、in a fully-etched specimen.3.2.2 L-Ratingthe size, in m, of the largest grain ob-served in a fully-etched specimen.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 A polished and fully etched specimen/specimens havinga minimum observable area of 0.5 cm2is examined using ametallograph. Abnormally large grains, compared

7、to the finer-grained background material, are identified. These grains arecategorized as: (1) The number of grains larger than a specifiedsize, or (2) The largest grain observed, or both.5. Significance and Use5.1 The microstructure and grain growth of cemented tung-sten carbides affect the material

8、s mechanical and physicalproperties. The grain size and distribution will affect thematerials wear resistance and fracture toughness. Abnormallylarge grains as compared to the background may introduce anarea of weakness in a sintered part.5.2 This test method may be used in acceptance testing ofceme

9、nted tungsten carbide materials or the tungsten carbidepowder used in their manufacture. The specified grain size usedfor the E-Rating is to be agreed upon between purchaser andsupplier.6. Apparatus6.1 Metallographic Microscope, capable of magnificationsof up to 15003.6.2 Ordinary metallurgical labo

Test Specimens7.1 Specimen SizeThe recommended specimen shall bethe standard transverse rupture specimen as specified in TestMethod B 406; that is, ground to the following dimensions:5.00 6 0.25 mm (0.200 6 0.010 in

11、) thick by 6.25 6 0.25 mm(0.250 6 0.010 in) wide by 19.0 mm (0.750 6 in) long.Alternatively, the specimen shall be a size to provide aminimum 0.5 cm2surface area of examination, or it mayconsist of several samples that provide this minimum area.7.2 Specimen Preparation:7.2.1 Polish the specimen/spec

12、imens according to the pro-cedure described in Guide B 665, or other suitable metallo-graphic polishing procedure. If using the recommended speci-men, polish the 6.25 by 19.0 mm side.7.2.2 Etch the specimen according to the procedure de-scribed in Test Method B 657, or other suitable etchingprocedur
