Very short fibers (including whiskers) call forspecialized test techniques (1)3and are not covered by this testmethod. This test method may also

12、be useful in the initialscreening of candidate fibers for applications in polymer, metalor ceramic matrix composites, and quality control purposes.Because of their nature, ceramic fibers do not have a uniquestrength, but rather, a distribution of strengths. In most caseswhen the strength of the fibe

13、rs is controlled by one populationof flaws, the distribution of fiber strengths can be describedusing a two-parameter Weibull distribution, although otherdistributions have also been suggested (2,3). This test methodconstitutes a methodology to obtain the strength of a singlefiber. For the purpose o

In particular, the behaviorof fibers susceptible to slow crack growth fracture will bestrongly influenced by test environment and testing rate (4).Testin

18、g to evaluate the maximum strength potential of a fibershould be conducted in inert environments or at sufficientlyrapid testing rates, or both, so as to minimize slow crackgrowth effects. Conversely, testing can be conducted in envi-ronments and testing modes and rates representative of servicecond

19、itions to evaluate the strength of fibers under thoseconditions.6.2 Fractures that initiate outside the gage section of a fibermay be due to factors such as stress concentrations, extraneousstresses introduced by gripping, or strength-limiting features inthe microstructure of the specimen. Such non-

20、gage sectionfractures constitute invalid tests. When using active grippingsystems, insufficient pressure can lead to slippage, while toomuch pressure can cause local fracture in the gripping area.6.3 Torsional strains may reduce the magnitude of thetensile strength (5). Caution must be exercised whe

Apparatus7.1 The apparatus described herein consists of a tensiletesting machine with one actuator (cross-head) th

22、at operates ina controllable manner, a gripping system and a load cell. Fig.1 and Fig. 2 show a picture and schematic of such a system.7.1.1 Testing MachineThe testing machine shall be inconformance with Practice E4. The failure forces shall beaccurate within 61 % at any force within the selected fo

24、t axial alignment of the fiber along the line of action of themachine shall be easily accomplished without damaging thetest specimen. Although studies of the effect of fiber misalign-ment on the tensile strength of fibers have not been reported,the axis of the fiber shall be coaxial with the line of

Alternative methods of specimenmounting may be use

26、d, or none at all (that is, the fiber may bedirectly mounted into the grips). A simple but effectiveapproach for making mounting tabs with repeatable dimen-sions consists in printing the mounting tab pattern ontocardboard file folders using a laser printer.As illustrated in Fig.3, holes can be obtai

27、ned using a three-hole punch. Fig. 3 showsa typical specimen mounting method. The mounting tabs aregripped or connected to the load train (for example, by pin andclevis) so that the test specimen is aligned axially along the lineof action of the test machine.7.2.1 When gripping large diameter fibers

28、 using an activeset of grips without tabs, the grip facing material in contactwith the test specimen must be of appropriate compliance toallow for a firm, non-slipping grip on the fiber. At the sametime, the grip facing material must prevent crushing, scoring orother damage to the test specimen that

29、 would lead to inaccurateresults. Large diameter fibers (diameter 50 10-6m) can alsobe mounted inside hypodermic needles filled with an adhesiveFIG. 1 Typical Fiber TesterC1557 03 (2013)2(7). This is a good alternative to avoid crushing the fiber ifpneumatic/hydraulic/mechanical grips were to be use

30、d. Theadhesive must be sufficiently strong to withstand the grippingprocess, and prevent fiber “pull-out” during testing.7.3 Data AcquisitionAt a minimum, autographic recordsof applied force and cross-head displacement versus time shallbe obtained. Either analog chart recorders or digital dataacquis

31、ition systems may be used for this purpose although adigital record is recommended for ease of later data analysis.Ideally, an analog chart recorder or plotter shall be used inconjunction with the digital data acquisition system to providean immediate record of the test as a supplement to the digita

32、lrecord. Recording devices must be accurate to 6 1 % of fullscale and shall have a minimum data acquisition rate of 10 Hzwith a response of 50 Hz deemed more than sufficient.8. Precautionary Statement8.1 During the conduct of this test method, the possibility offlying fragments of broken fibers may

33、be high. Means forcontaining these fragments for later fractographic reconstruc-tion and analysis is highly recommended. For example,vacuum grease has been used successfully to dampen the fiberduring failure and capture the fragments. In this case, vacuumgrease is applied in the gage section of the

34、fiber so that theformer does not bear any force. An appropriate solvent can beused afterwards to remove the vacuum grease.9. Procedure9.1 Test Specimen Mounting:9.1.1 Randomly choose, and carefully separate, a suitablesingle-fiber specimen from the bundle or fiber spool. The totallength of the speci

35、men should be sufficiently long (at least 1.5FIG. 2TABLE 1 Room Temperature Tensile Strength of Fibers (25 10-3m Gage Length)Fiber Diameter, m Strength, PaCVD-SiC 50-150 10-62-3.5 109polymer-derived SiC 10-18 10-62-3.5 109sol-gel derived oxide 1-20 10-61-3109single-crystal oxide 70-250 10-61.5-3.5 1

Handle the test specimen at its ends andavoid touching it in the test gage length.NOTE 1Because the strength of fibers is statisti

37、cal in nature, themagnitude of the strength will depend on the dimensions of the fiber beingevaluated. In composite material applications, the gage length of the fiberis usually of the order of several fiber diameters, but it has been customaryto test fibers with a gage length of 25.4 10-3m. However

38、, other gagelengths can be used as long as they are practical, and in either case, thevalue of the gage length must be reported.9.1.2 When Using Tabs:9.1.2.1 A mounting tab (Fig. 3) may be used for specimenmounting. Center the test specimen over the tab using theprinted pattern with one end taped to

39、 the tab.9.1.2.2 Tape the opposite end of the test specimen to the tabexercising care to prevent fiber twisting. It has been found thatthe tensile strength of fibers decreases significantly withincreasing torsional strain (5).9.1.2.3 Carefully place a small amount of suitable adhesive(for example, e

40、poxy, red sealing wax) at the marks on themounting tab that define the gage length, and bond the fiber tothe mounting tab.9.1.2.4 Determine the gage length to the nearest 6 510-4mor61 % of the gage length, whichever is smaller.9.2 Optical Strain FlagsIf optical flags are to be used forstrain measure

41、ment, they may be attached directly to the fibersat this time, using a suitable adhesive or other attachmentmethod. Note that this may not be possible with small-diameterfibers ( 510-6m).9.3 Test Modes and RatesThe test shall be conductedunder a constant cross-head displacement rate. Rates of testin

42、gmust be sufficiently rapid to obtain the maximum possiblestrength at fracture within 30 s. The user may try as an initialvalue a test rate of810-6m/s. However, rates other thanthose recommended here may be used to evaluate rate effects.In all cases the test mode and rate must be reported.9.4 Ensure

43、 that the machine is calibrated and in equilibrium(no drift).9.5 Set the cross-head and data recorder speeds to provide atest time to specimen fracture within 30 s.9.6 Grasp a mounted test specimen in one of the two tabgrip areas (or pin load one end of the mounting tab). Zero theload cell.9.7 Posit

44、ion the cross-head so that the other tab grip areamay be grasped as in 9.6. Check the axial specimen alignmentusing whatever methods have been established, as described in7.1.2.9.8 If using tabs, with the mounting tab un-strained, cut bothsides of the tab very carefully at mid-gage as shown in Fig.

45、4.Alternatively, the sides of the tab can be burned using asoldering iron, for example. If the fiber is damaged, then itmust be discarded.9.9 Initiate the data recording followed by the operation ofthe test machine until fiber failure. Record both the cross-headdisplacement and force, and strain if

46、applicable.9.10 Recover the fracture surfaces and measure the cross-sectional area of a plane normal to the axis of the fiber at thefracture location or in the vicinity of the fracture location.Determine the fiber cross-sectional area using with a linearspatial resolution of 1.0 % of the fiber diame

47、ter or better, usinglaser diffraction techniques (8-11), or an image analysis systemin combination with a reflected light microscope or a scanningelectron microscope (12) (see Test Methods E1382). Note thatin practice, a reflected white light microscope can provide amaximum resolution of 0.5 10-6m a

48、nd therefore its use maybe impractical when measuring the cross-sectional area ofsmall diameter fibers. Because stiff fibers tend to shatter uponfailure, it is recommended to capture the fiber fragments usingvacuum grease, because vacuum grease is an effective mediumto dampen the energy released by

49、the fiber upon fracture. TheFIG. 3 Mounting TabC1557 03 (2013)4user of this standard should be aware that the need to recoverthe fracture surfaces of the fiber to determine the fibercross-sectional area is consistent with the need to do fractog-raphy to identify the strength-limiting flaws for the properestimation of the parameters of the distribution of fiberstrengths.NOTE 2The user of this standard test method must be aware that thediameter of many ceramic fibers varies not only among fibers in a bundle,but also along the
