Summary of Test Method4.1 The

9、test specimen is first weighed in air. It is then oilimpregnated or some other treatment is used to seal thesurface-connected porosity and the specimen is reweighed. Thetest specimen is then weighed when immersed in water and itsdensity calculated based on Archimedes principle.5. Significance and Us

10、e5.1 The volume of a complex shaped PM part cannot bemeasured accurately using micrometers or calipers. Sincedensity is mass per unit volume, a precise method for measur-ing the volume is needed. Archimedes principle may be usedto calculate the volume of water displaced by an immersedobject. For thi

11、s to be applicable to PM materials that containsurface connected porosity, the surface pores are sealed by oilimpregnation or some other means.5.2 The green density of compacted parts or test pieces isnormally determined to assist during press set-up, or for qualitycontrol purposes. It is also used

12、for determining the compress-ibility of base powders, mixed powders, and premixes.5.3 The sintered density of sintered PM parts and sinteredPM test specimens is used as a quality control measure.5.4 The impregnated density of sintered bearings is nor-mally measured for quality control purposes as be

13、arings aregenerally supplied and used oil-impregnated.6. Interferences6.1 A gain in mass when a test specimen is immersed inwater is an indication that the specimen contains surface-connected porosity. Unsealed surface porosity will absorbwater and cause the calculated density values to be higher th

18、recise density determination, the water con-tainer should be of a size that the level of the water does not rise more than2.5 mm (0.10 in.) when the test specimen is lowered into the water.7.3 WaterDistilled or deionized water to which 0.05 to 0.1volume percent of a wetting agent has been added to r

20、 The suspension wiremay be twisted around the test specimen or the test specimenmay be supported in a wire basket that is attached to thesuspension wire. For either arrangement, a single corrosion-resistant wirefor example, austenitic stainless steel, copper,or nichromeshall be used for the basket a

Preparation of Test Specimens8.1 The mass of the test specimen shall be a minimum of1.0 g. For small parts, several parts may be combined to reachthe

24、minimum mass.8.2 Thoroughly clean all surfaces of the test specimen toremove any adhering foreign materials such as dirt or oxidescale. Take care with cut specimens to avoid rough surfaces towhich an air bubble may adhere.A100-grit sanding or abrasivegrinding is recommended to remove all rough surfa

25、ces.9. Procedure9.1 The part or test specimen, the analytical balance andsurrounding air shall be at a uniform temperature whenweighing is performed.9.2 For the most precise density determinations, duplicateweighings should be made for all mass measurements. Adjustthe analytical balance to zero prio

26、r to each weighing. Averagethe mass determinations before calculating the density.9.3 For improved repeatability and reproducibility, verifythe analytical balance periodically with a standard mass that isapproximately equal to the part or test specimen mass.9.4 This standard contains three separate

27、test methods;determination of green density, determination of sintereddensity, and determination of impregnated density. Each isdetailed in the following sections.Determination of Green Density9.5 This procedure is used to determine the green density ofPM parts and test specimens.9.5.1 Determine the

28、 mass of the green part or test specimen.This is mass A. This and all subsequent weighings shall be tothe precision stated in Table 1.9.5.2 Oil impregnate the green part or test specimen asfollows:Preferred Procedure9.5.3 Immerse the part or test specimen in oil at roomtemperature.9.5.4 Reduce the p

29、ressure over the sample to 7 kPa (1 psi)or less for 30 minutes, then increase the pressure back toatmospheric pressure and keep the sample immersed for atleast 30 minutes.9.5.5 Remove excess oil by wiping gently with an absor-bent, lint-free material. Take care not to extract oil absorbedwithin the

30、part or test specimen.9.5.6 Do not place or store parts on porous surfaces such aspaper, cloth, or cardboard as these will absorb oil.9.5.7 Proceed to 9.5.13.Alternative Procedure9.5.8 Immerse the part or test specimen in oil at a tempera-ture of 82 6 5 C (180 6 10 F) for at least 4 hours.9.5.9 Cool

32、orous surfaces such aspaper, cloth, or cardboard as these will absorb oil.9.5.12 Proceed to 9.5.13.NOTE 5It may not be necessary to oil impregnate the green part withoil. There may be enough admixed lubricant present in the surface-connected pores to prevent the absorption of water. If the test spec

This is massB.9.5.14 Support the container of water over the pan of thebalance using a suitable bridge as shown in Fig. 2a. Take careto ensure that

35、the bridge does not restrict the free movement ofthe balance pan. The container of water may also be supportedbelow the balance for weighing larger specimens if the balancehas a lower beam hook for this purpose. See Fig. 2b. If thisarrangement is used, it is important to shield the weighingsystem, i

This automaticallyremoves the necessity of reweighing the specimen support every time. Inthis case, tare the specimen support alone, immersed
