3、rmination of residualstresses in a transparent glass matrix by means of a polarizingmicroscope using null or retardation compensation procedures.1.2 Such residual stress determinations are of importance inevaluating the nature and degree of residual stresses present inglass matrixes due to cord, or

4、the degree of fit, or suitability ofa particular combination of glass matrix and enamel, or appliedcolor label (ACL).1.3 The retardation compensation method of optically de-termining and evaluating enamel or ACL residual stress sys-tems offers distinct advantages over methods requiring physi-cal pro

5、perty measurements or ware performance tests due to itssimplicity, reproducibility, and precision.1.4 LimitationsThis test method is based on the stress-optical retardation compensation principle, and is thereforeapplicable only to transparent glass substrates, and not toopaque glass systems.1.5 Due

6、 to the possibility of additional residual stressesproduced by ion exchange between glasses of different com-positions, some uncertainty may be introduced in the value ofthe stress optical coefficient in the point of interest due to a lackof accurate knowledge of chemical composition in the areas of

7、interest.1.6 This test method is quantitatively applicable to and validonly for those applications where such significant ion exchangeis not a factor, and stress optical coefficients are known ordeterminable.1.7 The extent of the ion exchange process, and hence themagnitudes of the residual stresses

8、 produced due to ionexchange will depend on the exchange process parameters. Theresidual stress determinations made on systems in which ionexchange has occurred should be interpreted with those depen-dencies in mind.1.8 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method provides for the

19、quantitative determi-nation of residual stresses in transparent glass matrixes bymeans of photoelastic retardation compensation procedures.Compensation is achieved by producing a retardation null orextinction in the specimen using either rotating (11.2), bire-fringent quartz wedge (11.3), or tilting

20、 (11.4) optical retarda-tion compensators.5. Significance and Use5.1 The quality and performance of an article of glasswaremay be affected not only by the presence of residual stressesdue to heat treatment above the strain point in the ware, butalso by additional residual stresses caused by differen

21、ces inthermal expansion between the glass substrate, and either cord,fired-on vitreous enamel, or ACL decoration.5.2 The effects of those additional residual cord, enamel, orACL stresses and the resulting performance of such items maybe evaluated by performance test procedures. Such evaluationsof en

22、amel or ACL stresses may also be accomplished throughthe determination of appropriate physical properties of thedecoration and matrix glass, or by analytical methods.5.3 This test method offers a direct and convenient means ofdetermining the magnitudes and spatial distributions of re-sidual stress s

23、ystems in glass substrates. The test method issimple, convenient, and quantitatively accurate.5.4 This test method is useful in evaluating the degree ofcompatibility between the coefficient of thermal expansion ofan enamel or ACL applied to a glass substrate.6. Apparatus6.1 Microscope, monocular or

24、binocular polarizing, havinga rotating, and preferably graduated, sample stage. Binocularmicroscope heads frequently contain a second, separate polar-izing element intended to minimize internal reflections. If sucha binocular microscope is used, care should be taken to ensurethat the antireflection

25、polarizing element is removed from thefield of view. An eyepiece containing mutually perpendicularor otherwise easily referenced crosshairs should be provided.For retardation determinations using rotating compensationmethods, the polarizing microscope must be equipped with arotatable analyzer elemen

26、t, having a scale graduated in degreesof rotation, capable of being read to at least 1, and aquarter-wave plate, properly indexed.6.2 White Light Source should be provided, together withstrain-free objective lenses yielding overall magnificationsranging typically from 25 to 1003.6.3 Iris Diaphragm,

27、enabling collimation of the light beamtransmitted through the specimen being evaluated.6.4 Compensator, fixed full-wave retardation, commonlyreferred to as a sensitive tint plate, full-wave plate, or gypsumplate, having a fixed retardation value centered on 565-nmwavelength.6.5 Compensator,3appropri

Variable compensatorsmay be used.6.5.1 Wedge, graduated birefringent, of continuously vary-ing thickness, t

30、.3 Rotating Compensator,5typically allowing a deter-mination of retardation of one order or one wavelength inmagnitude to be determined. A monochromatizing filter isusually provided by the rotating compensator manufacturer.Care should be taken to use the appropriate matching filter forthe particular

The dishshould be of sufficient

36、 this purpose.C9780426.10 Means of Preparing the Section Containing the POI tobe Analyzed, such as an abrasive or diamond-impregnatedcutoff wheel, or a hot wire bottle-cutting apparatus. Careshould be taken to ensure that the section is not heated duringcutting so as to affect the residual stress di

Sampling7.1 The test specimens may be sections cut from appropriatelocations containing a

Test Specimens68.1 Ensure that the test specimen is appropriately annealed,in that retardation due to inappropriate annealing coul

Proper annealingshould result in

40、minimal retardation due to annealing stress in the selectedreference area.8.2 Cut a section, of generally not less than 2.0 mm (0.08in.) and not more than 30.0 mm (1.18 in.) in optical pathlength, from the portion of the ware containing the POI. Thesection may then consist of a bar, a ring, or other

41、 appropriatelyshaped section.8.2.1 In the case of ring section specimens, especially thoseused for cord, vitreous enamel, or ACL stress evaluations, openthe ring section with a vertical saw cut to form a narrow kerf,relieving whatever architectural stresses may be present in thesection.8.2.2 Care sh

42、ould be taken to ensure that both cut sectionsurfaces are parallel to each other, and are perpendicular to theoptical path length of the section paralleling the planes ofresidual stress in the POI being evaluated.8.3 If the sections being cut contain high magnitudes ofretardation at the POI, the cut

43、 section thickness may bedecreased proportionately from the thickness values listed in8.2 to decrease the magnitude of retardation to be measured atthe POI.9. Preparation of Apparatus9.1 Ensure that the microscope optical system is properlyaligned and the objectives to be used in the examination are

44、properly centered. The objectives should be relatively lowpowered, 2.5 to 103 being used during the initial examinationprocedure. The microscope eyepiece should contain a pair ofmutually perpendicular or otherwise easily referencedcrosshairs.9.2 Orient the eyepiece such that one or both of the eyepi

45、ececrosshairs parallel the 45 diagonal positions in the field ofview. The crosshairs will be used to orient the sections forwhich retardation determinations are to be made.9.3 The microscope polarizing element should be orientedin the optical column at 0 or in an East-West (E-W) alignment,while the

46、analyzer should be set in the field of view at 90 ora North-South (N-S) alignment, perpendicular to the polarizer.The microscope field of view should be at maximum darknessor extinction at this point if the polarizing elements areproperly oriented, that is, mutually perpendicular to oneanother with

47、no compensator installed.9.4 If the field of view should not be at maximum darknessor extinction, the less-than-dark or brightened field indicatesthat the polarizing elements are not mutually perpendicular.The East-West alignment of the polarizer should be checkedand then the analyzer should be rota

48、ted to a mutually perpen-dicular alignment with the polarizer, a position where the fieldof view is at its darkest, extinction position.9.5 On insertion of a fixed, sensitive tint plate or a full-waveretardation plate in the microscope accessory slot, which plateis aligned at 45 between properly cro

49、ssed polarizing elements,the darkened extinction field of view should then becomereddish-purple or magenta in color.10. Calibration and Standardization10.1 For microscopes and compensators that are notfactory-standardized to determine the optical sign of stresses,the sense of the stresses being evaluated, that is, their tensile orcompressive nature, must be established for the particularmicroscope being used with either a sensitive tint plate orfull-wave fixed retardation compensator installed in the micro-scope column accessory slot between crossed polarizers.
