Materials and Manufacture5.1 The fiber reinforcement shall be continuous tows ofaluminum oxide.5.2 The core wires shall be of such quality and purity thatthe finished product shall have the approximate properti

15、es andcharacteristics prescribed in this specification, including break-ing load, elongation, modulus properties, and electrical resis-tivity requirements set forth in Table 1.6. Tensile Test6.1 Before stranding, the composite core wire of any diam-eter shall conform to the tensile breaking load req

16、uirements setforth in Table 2 (see Explanatory Note 1).6.2 Test MethodTensile testing of metal matrix compositematerials is covered by D3552, including the need for stringenttest frame alignment. However, this standard does not specifytesting of round metal matrix composite wire samples. Thus,for AM

17、C core wire samples, the tensile test shall use aminimum gauge length of 24 in. (610 mm) (see ExplanatoryNote 2). Each end of the wire shall be adhesively bonded to adepth of 4 in. (100 mm) into a 6 in. (150 mm) long steelgripping tube. A Hi-flex epoxy is suggested such as Scotch-Weld DP-810 Hi-flex

18、 epoxy adhesive. The test machine grip-ping jaws shall grip the end section of the tube that contains nowire. Direct gripping of the core wire in the test machine jawswithout end tubes is not permitted, unless the tester candemonstrate the effect of direct gripping on the wire does notcause failure

19、of the wire within the gripping length. Thecross-head speed shall provide a strain rate of 0.002in./in./min(0.002 mm/mm/min).6.3 Test SpecimensThe test specimens shall be free ofsharp bends, dents or kinks other than the curvature resultingfrom the packaging operations.7. Density and Resistivity7.1

20、For the purposes of calculating mass per unit length,cross-sections, and so forth, the density of the composite wireat 20C shall be taken as 0.122 lb/in.3(3370 kg/m3).7.2 Electrical resistivity, determined on samples selectedand tested in accordance with Test Method B193, shall notexceed 43.2 Vcmil/

21、ft (0.0718 Vmm2/m) at 68F (20C).7.3 Equivalent conductivity; the wire shall meet or exceed24.0 % IACS at 68F (20C).7.4 The temperature coefficient of resistance at 20C istaken as 0.00404.8. Dimensions and Permissible Variations8.1 The specified diameter shall be expressed in inches tofour decimal pl

22、aces or in millimeters to two decimal places.8.2 Measure the diameter of each specimen with a microm-eter caliper to the nearest 0.0005 in. or 0.01 mm. Take twomeasurements at one location, the second 90 from the first.Average the two measurements to obtain the specimen diam-eter. The specimen diame

23、ter shall not vary from the specifieddiameter by more than 6 0.0035 in. (6 0.09 mm) for all wirediameters.8.3 Continuous process control using an optical diametermeasurement device, or other methods, may be substituted inaccordance with section 8.2 if the tester can demonstrate theaccuracy of the me

24、asurement system relative to the method insection 8.2.8.4 Should questions arise regarding diameter compliance,the actual diameter shall be determined in accordance withsection 8.2.9. Joints9.1 No joints shall be made in the finished wire.10. Number of Tests and Retests10.1 A minimum of one test spe

25、cimen of sufficient lengthshall be taken from a lot to perform the required testing (seeExplanatory Note 2). A lot shall consist of at least onecontinuous length of input material (e.g., a fiber setup).10.2 Each specimen shall be tested for compliance withSections 6, 7, and 8.NOTEDark Phases are fib

28、e or more of the test specimens fail any ofthe tests specified, the nonconforming production unit or unitsmay be removed and the balance of the lot subjected to retests(see Explanatory Note 3). For retest purposes, two additionalproduction units in the lot shall be sampled and tested for theproperty

29、 in which the original sample failed to comply.10.4 Should any of the retest specimens fail to meet theproperties specified, the lot represented by the test specimenshall be rejected.10.5 Instead of rejecting the entire lot as provided in 10.4,the producer may test specimens from every production un

30、it inthe lot for the property in which failure occurred, and rejectonly the nonconforming production units.11. Inspection11.1 Unless otherwise specified in the contract or purchaseorder, the manufacturer shall be responsible for the perfor-mance of all inspection and test requirements specified.11.2

31、 All inspections and tests shall be made at the place ofmanufacture, unless otherwise agreed upon between the manu-facturer and the purchaser.11.3 The manufacturer shall afford the inspector represent-ing the purchaser reasonable access to the manufacturersfacilities consistent with the purchasers n

32、eed to ensure com-pliance with this specification.12. Packaging and Package Marking12.1 Package dimensions, kind of package (coils, reels orreel-less coils), and quantity of wire in each package shall beagreed upon between the manufacturer and purchaser. Unlessotherwise specified, each package shall

33、 contain one continuouslength of wire.12.2 The wire shall be protected against damage in handlingand shipping. A protective sheet (e.g., 1/8 in. (3 mm) thickrubber sheeting) shall be wrapped around the wire on thepackage and secured by tape. No metal or plastic bands shall beused to secure the wire.

34、12.3 There is a minimum bending radius required for theAMC wire to prevent damage. The drum diameter shall not beless than 24 in. (610 mm) for the reels used to transport thewire.13.

35、tewire; aluminum composite wire; composite wireEXPLANATORY NOTESNOTE 1Tensile breaking load and not tensile strength is specifiedbecause in composite materials of these sizes, the main strength memberis the fiber and not the metal matrix. Fiber is provided in discrete packagesor tows. Thus a wire th

36、at is nominally 0.0831 in. (2.11 mm) diameter mayhave a deviation in diameter due to tolerance fluctuation (e.g., 6 0.0035in. (6 0.09 mm) but will contain the same amount of fiber. The breakingload of this wire will be the same, independent of the actual wire diameter,since it contains the same amou

37、nt of fiber, and changes in diameter due tochanges in metal content do not affect the strength. Computation of thetensile strength due to the change in wire diameter will thus give a rangeof tensile strengths. Thus tensile strength is not a fixed parameter, onlybreaking load. This is one difference

38、between composite materials andmetals and alloys. As extra packages or tows of fibers are added, then thebreaking load increases stepwise to reflect this.NOTE 2In tensile testing the minimum gauge length is 24 in. (610mm). This reduces the need for stringent test frame alignment required forshorter

39、specimens and the resulting end effects from end tabs. This alsoreduces the amount of time and extra materials used for testing.NOTE 3Should a failure occur, the manufacturer may retest if thecause of the failure is suspected to be an error in the testing procedure,set-up, or factors other then non-

40、conformance with the property beingtested. For example, if a tensile test fails due to a break that occurs withinthe gripping region, the failure may be due to a gripping deficiency, andthat would be a valid cause for retesting the production unit.TABLE 2 Tensile Load RequirementsWire Diameter,(in.)
