Summary of Test Methods4.1 These test methods include procedures for determiningthe tensile strength and modulus of a resin-impregnated an

16、dconsolidated carbon fiber tow. Also included are procedures tomeasure the mass per unit length and density of the carbonfiber and the resin content of the resin-impregnated andconsolidated specimens.4.2 MULThe MUL of the fiber is determined by dividingthe mass of a sample of sized fiber by its leng

17、th.4.3 DensityThe density of the fiber is determined usingArchimedes method or a pycnometer method. The recom-mended specimen is desized or unsized fiber. The idealimmersion fluid is one that completely wets the specimen andprovides minimum toxicity or environmental hazard.4.4 Resin ContentThe resin

18、 content (weight percent) ofthe resin-impregnated and consolidated fiber is determined bycomparing the mass per unit length of the impregnated andconsolidated specimen to the fiber mass per unit length.4.5 Tensile PropertiesThe tensile strength and tensilechord modulus of the fiber are determined by

19、 the tensileloading to failure of the resin-impregnated and consolidatedfiber. The chord modulus is determined between defined strainlimits. The purpose of the impregnating resin is to provide thefiber, when consolidated, with sufficient mechanical strength toproduce an easily handled test specimen

20、capable of sustaininguniform loading of the individual filaments in the specimen.The resin shall be compatible with the fiber and any sizeapplied to it. The strain capability of the consolidated resinshall be at least twice the strain capability of the fiber.5. Significance and Use5.1 The properties

21、 determined by these test methods are ofvalue in material specifications, qualifications, data base gen-eration, certification, research, and development.5.2 These test methods are intended for the testing of fibersthat have been specifically developed for use as reinforcingagents in advanced compos

22、ite structures. The test results of animpregnated and consolidated fiber should be representative ofthe strength and modulus that are available in the materialwhen used as intended. The performance of fibers in differentresin systems can vary significantly so that correlations be-tween results using

23、 these test methods and composite testingmay not always be obtained.5.3 The reproducibility of test results is dependent uponprecise control over all test conditions. Resin type, content anddistribution, curing process, filament alignment, gripping in thetesting machine, and alignment in the testing

24、 machine are ofspecial importance.5.4 The measured strengths of fibers are not unique quan-tities and test results are strongly dependent on the test methodsused. Therefore the test method described here will notnecessarily give the same mean strengths or standard devia-tions as those obtained from

25、single filaments, dry fibers,composite laminas, or composite laminates.6. Apparatus6.1 Three sets of apparatus are required. One set is for resinimpregnation of the fiber. A second set is for curing theresin-impregnated specimens. A third set is for tensile testingthe resin-impregnated and consolida

26、ted specimens. Optionalapparatus may be used for applying end tabs to the specimensand removing sizing.6.1.1 Resin ImpregnationThe goal of the resin-impregnation apparatus is to apply and uniformly impregnateresin into the fiber. This is normally achieved by dipping thefiber into the resin and then

27、working the wet fiber over rolls orthrough a die, or both. While automated apparatuses arepreferred for consistency, any apparatus which achieves uni-form impregnation of 35 to 60 % resin by weight and does notdamage the fiber is acceptable.6.1.2 ConsolidationAn apparatus to hold the impregnatedspec

28、imens under tension during consolidation is required.6.1.3 Optional End TabsAn apparatus to cast resin endtabs on specimens may be used. Apparatuses to apply and alignother forms of end tabs such as bonded on cardboard or metaltabs may also be used.6.1.4 TestingA tensile testing machine and recorder

29、 meet-ing the requirements of Practices E 4 at the maximum expectedtest load are required. The load recording device shall becoordinated with the extensometer and strain recorder to assurethat the corresponding load and elongation of the specimen arerecorded at essentially the same time. The testing

30、 machineshall also have the following features:6.1.4.1 GripsGrips suitable for loading the tabbed oruntabbed specimen without damaging it are required. For resintabbed specimens a custom grip is generally required. Foruntabbed or cardboard tabbed specimens pneumatic or hydrau-lically powered grips a

31、re typically used. Different grip pressuresettings may be required for different fibers.6.1.4.2 JawsJaws compatible with the grips and capableof holding a specimen without damaging it are required. Foruntabbed specimens, flat jaws with rubber or other compliantmaterials bonded to the face are genera

32、lly used. Sandpapermay also be placed on the grips to reduce slippage. Forcardboard tabbed specimens serrated jaws are generally used.Jaws should be inspected regularly and cleaned or repaired asrequired.6.1.4.3 Extensometer and RecorderAn extensometer andrecording device in accordance with the requ

33、irements ofPractice E 83 Class B-2 are required. The extensometer andrecorder shall be coordinated with the tensile testing machineso that the corresponding load and elongation of the specimenare recorded at essentially the same time.6.1.4.4 Balance, AnalyticalAccuracy of 60.0002 g formass per unit

35、 Measuring DeviceSee Test MethodsD 70, D 3800, or D 5550.D 4018 99 (2004)26.1.4.8 Forced Air OvenA forced air oven of sufficientsize and temperature capabilities to cure the impregnated fiberon the curing device. The temperature shall be controlled to610C.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Reagent WaterUn

36、less otherwise indicated, referencesto water shall be understood to mean reagent water as definedby Type III of Specification D 1193.7.2 Resin.7.3 Commercial Grade Solvent, (optional) for resin dilu-tion.7.4 Hardener or Catalyst.7.5 Surfactant (optional).8. Test Specimens8.1 Mass per Unit Length Spe

37、cimenThe specimen tomeasure mass per unit length is a 1-m minimum length of fiberin the form in which it is intended to be used. Test onespecimen per sample. Coil the specimen into a usable form fortesting. Care is required to not damage and lose filaments fromthe specimen.8.2 Density SpecimenDensit

38、y specimens may be sized,unsized, or desized material. Unsized or desized samples arepreferred. Test one specimen per sample. A 1-m minimumlength is required for Test Method D 3800. For methods in TestMethods D 70 and D 5550, a suitable volume to fill thecontainer is recommended. Coil the specimen i

39、nto a usableform for testing. Care is required to not damage and losefilaments from the specimen.8.3 Tensile Test SpecimenThe tensile specimen shall be atabbed or untabbed resin-impregnated and consolidated fiber.Tabbed specimens shall have a 150-mm gage length betweenthe tabs. Untabbed specimens sh

40、all be of sufficient length toallow a 150-mm gage length between the grips when they aretested. Samples with 3000 filaments or less may be tested usingspecimens of more than one fiber bundle to facilitate handling.Combine the bundles before resin impregnation and count thetest results as one specime

41、n. Test a minimum of four testspecimens per sample. Separate test specimens for modulusand strength determination are permitted; however, four speci-mens for each test are required. Specimens that are fuzzy,curved, not uniform in cross section, have broken filaments,resin lumps, or other observable

42、defects should be rejectedunless they are representative of the material being tested.9. Conditioning9.1 Fibers that adsorb less than 0.5 % moisture by weight at23 6 2C and 90 % or greater relative humidity require noconditioning before testing. Conduct mass per unit length,density, and tensile test

43、ing for these materials at 23 6 7C and50 6 20 % relative humidity unless other conditions are thevariables of interest.9.2 Condition fibers that adsorb more than 0.5 % moistureby weight (at 23 6 2C and 90 % or greater relative humidity)for a minimum of 24 h at 23 6 2C and 50 6 10 % relativehumidity.

44、 Conduct mass per unit length and density testing at23 6 2C and 50 6 10 % relative humidity unless otherconditions are the variables of interest. Conduct tensile testingat 23 6 7C and 50 6 20 % relative humidity unless otherconditions are the variables of interest.9.3 To determine moisture adsorptio

45、n, dry a minimum offive mass per unit-type specimens at 120 6 5C for 24 h in acirculating air oven. Cool samples in a desiccator. Removesamples from desiccator one at a time and immediately weighthem. Place samples in a humidity chamber and maintain at 236 2C and 90 % or greater relative humidity fo

46、r 24 h. Removesamples from the humidity chamber one at a time and weighimmediately.9.4 If all specimens are conditioned for 24 h and mass perunit length and density testing are performed at 23 6 2C and50 6 10 % relative humidity, then no testing for moistureadsorption is required.9.5 Moisture adsorp

47、tion testing is only required once annu-ally for a standard product.10. Specimen Preparation10.1 Mass per Unit LengthNo preparation is required.The sample is taken from a package of material as it is intendedto be used.10.2 DensityThe preferred density specimen is a desizedor unsized fiber. This eli

48、minates any need to correct for thedensity of the sizing. The sizing may be removed using solventextraction, pyrolysis, or other means. An example method isdescribed in Appendix X1. An unsized sample of a sized fiberwould have to be collected during the production of the fiberand is therefore not re

49、commended.10.3 Tensile TestThe tensile test specimen must be im-pregnated with resin and consolidated before testing.10.3.1 Resin PreparationAny resin that meets the re-quirements of 4.5 may be used. The resin when combined withthe fiber shall produce a composite (reinforcement/matrix)failure. A resin generally found satisfactory is a combination ofbisphenol A (or bisphenol F) epoxy and diethyltoluene diaminein the weight ratio of 3.9:1. A solvent that lowers the viscosityof a resin mixture or softens the sizing, or both, may b
