The specified chemical reagentswere previously calibrated by use of Environmental StressCracking (ESC) t

9、tice involves the exposure of finished plasticparts to a specified series of chemical reagents which areknown to produce cracking or crazing of Sulfone Plastic (SP)materials at specific stress levels, under otherwise constantconditions including a fixed time of one minute. Thus, theexposure of finis

10、hed parts to one or more chemical reagentsunder no load conditions allows the quantification of theresidual stress levels in the finished parts. Since the evaluationis based on the subjective criteria of presence or absence ofcrazing, this practice only yields an approximate indication ofthe level o

11、f residual stresses in the parts. This practiceestimates the relative magnitude of residual stresses in partsproduced from the series of sulfone plastics, namely polysul-fone (PSU), polyethersulfone (PESU), and polyphenylsulfone(PPSU) materials.5. Significance and Use5.1 Thermoplastic moldings conta

Many part performanceparameters as well as part failures are affected by the level ofresidual stress present

17、rect correlation has been established between theresults of the determination of residual stresses by this practiceand part performance properties. For this reason, this practiceis not recommended as a substitute for other tests, nor is itintended for use in purchasing specifications for parts. Desp

18、itethis limitation, this practice does yield information of value inindicating the presence of residual stresses and the relativequality of plastic parts.5.3 Residual stresses cannot be easily calculated, hence it isimportant to have an experimental method, such as thispractice, to estimate residual

19、 stresses.5.4 This practice is useful for extruders and molders whowish to evaluate residual stresses in SP parts. This can beaccomplished by visual examination after immersion in one ormore chemical reagents to evaluate whether or not crackingoccurs. Stresses will relax after molding or extrusion.

20、Accord-ingly, both immersion in the test medium and visual examina-tion must be made at identical times and conditions afterprocessing, if comparing parts. It is important to note thedifferences in part history. Thus, this technique may be used asan indication for quality of plastic processing.5.5 T

21、he practice is useful primarily for indicating residualstresses near the surface.6. Apparatus6.1 Container, of sufficient size to ensure complete immer-sion of specimen(s).6.2 Cotton swaps, patches or similar means to apply reagentto a localized area if immersion is impractical.7. Reagents7.1 Ethano

Safety Precaustions8.1 Protective equipment and clothing must be utilized toavoid contact of chemical reagents with the skin or eyes. Useadequate ventilation to remove noxious or to

23、xic fumes, or both.9. Test Specimen9.1 Size of SpecimenThe specimen shall be a completemolding or a cut piece of the extrusion or molding of sufficientsize to not influence the stresses being observed. Twisting andbreaking must be avoided in separating cut pieces since theslightest amount of such fo

24、rces has the potential to changestresses and cause false results.10. Conditioning10.1 It is not necessary to condition the part prior to testingby this practice. If conditioning is utilized for a controlledstudy in a series of parts, recommended conditioning is at 23 62C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 10 %

25、relative humidity for aminimum of 40 hours prior to testing.10.2 Test ConditionsConduct tests in the standard labora-tory atmosphere of 23 6 2C (73.4 6 3.6F) and 50 6 10 %relative humidity, unless otherwise specified by the contract orrelevant ASTM material specification.10.3 Residual stresses from

26、molding decrease with timeafter fabrication. For some studies, it is necessary to test assoon as possible after molding. In such cases, allow the part tocool before testing.TABLE 1 Liquid Reagents for Residual Stress Test for PSUMixtureMixture CompositionCritical Stress, MPa (psi)% by volume Ethanol

Procedure11.1 Choose the appropriate table from Table

29、s 1-3, whichlist the series of chemical reagents that shall be used for SPparts made from PSU, PESU and PPSU, respectively. Ensurethat the required reagents are available.11.2 Rinse the specimen with isopropyl alcohol and air dry.Starting at the highest critical stress level (1), immerse thespecimen

30、 for one minute in the liquid reagent listed in theappropriate Table. Immediately after immersion rinse thespecimen with water, wipe dry and dry further by blowinglow-pressure compressed air on the surface as needed.11.3 Inspect the part for cracked or crazed regions.NOTE 2Hairline fractures are dif

31、ficult to see at times.11.4 If the part is crazed, the residual stress is greater thanthe critical stress value indicated for that reagent in the Table.If the part is not crazed, the residual stress is less than thecritical stress value indicated, and the test is continued with thenext liquid reagen

32、t in the Table.11.5 Using the same specimen, immerse the specimen in thenext lower critical stress liquid reagent (2) for one minute,rinse with water, dry and inspect for crazing. If crazing doesnot occur, the residual stress is less than the threshold for thisliquid reagent, and the test is continu

33、ed with the next liquidreagent.11.6 Continue until crazing occurs, or the last liquid reagentin the table is reached and no crazing occurs. If crazing doesnot occur with the last reagent, then the residual stress value isbelow the last value in the table and shall be reported as beingbelow that valu

34、e. Otherwise, the residual stress is reported tobe between the last level that crazing did occur and the passinglevel.NOTE 3To maintain accurate stress readings, the reagents must befresh. Over time, the reagents have been known to absorb water,evaporate, degrade when exposed to light, or become con

35、taminated, whichcan lead to erroneous stress indications.NOTE 4Determining stress levels through the use of reagent exposureis approximate in nature. Residual stress levels depend on numerousmolding parameters which at times have been found to be unstable duringmolding. For this reason, individual s

36、pecimens have been found to exhibitvariations in stress levels. Therefore, testing multiple parts is recom-mended.NOTE 5It is recommended that the determination of an acceptablemolded-in stress level for an individual part be made from its end useapplication, in particular, the chemical environment

37、to which the part willbe exposed. Parts whose residual stress levels are below 6 to 8 MPa aretypically considered to be well molded.NOTE 6Exposure for time periods longer than one minute producescracking at stress levels lower than those observed for one minuteexposure.12.

41、, and PPSU,respectively.X1.2 The stress level required for crazing to occur for eachliquid reagent mixture was determined using annealed speci-mens exposed for one minute at known stress levels.

43、plyingthe solvents; swiping with a cotton swab, immersion, or cottonpatches laid on top. In most cases, cotton patches were laid onthe surface of the specimen and then soaked the patch with thesolvent combination. In all applications the exposure time wasone minute. After the time requirement was me

44、t the patcheswere removed and any residual solvent wiped off.X1.5 The mounted specimens were examined for crazing.The strain level at which crazing started was noted. Then fromthe critical strain and the modulus of the material being testedthe critical stress was calculated for inclusion in Tables 1
