1、Designation: D7779 11 (Reapproved 2015) An American National StandardStandard Test Method forDetermination of Fracture Toughness of Graphite atAmbient Temperature1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D7779; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal

2、 adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers and provides a measure of theresistance of

3、a graphite to crack extension at ambient tempera-ture and atmosphere expressed in terms of stress-intensityfactor, K, and strain energy release rate, G. These crack growthresistance properties are determined using beam test specimenswith a straight-through sharp machined V-notch.1.2 This test method

4、 determines the stress intensity factor,K, from applied force and gross specimen deflection measuredaway from the crack tip. The stress intensity factor calculatedat the maximum applied load is denoted as fracture toughness,KIc, and is known as the critical stress intensity factor. If theresolution

5、of the deflection gauge is sensitive to fracturebehavior in the test specimen and can provide a measure of thespecimen compliance, strain energy release rate, G, can bedetermined as a function of crack extension.1.3 This test method is applicable to a variety of grades ofgraphite which exhibit diffe

6、rent types of resistance to crackgrowth, such as growth at constant stress intensity (strainenergy release rate), or growth with increasing stress intensity(strain energy release rate), or growth with decreasing stressintensity (strain energy release rate). It is generally recognizedthat because of

7、the inhomogeneous microstructure of graphite,the general behavior will exhibit a mixture of all three duringthe test. The crack resistance behavior exhibited in the test isusually referred to as an “R-curve.”NOTE 1One difference between the procedure in this test method andtest methods such as Test

8、Method E399, which measure fracturetoughness, KIc, by one set of specific operational procedures, is that TestMethod E399 focuses on the start of crack extension from a fatigueprecrack for metallic materials. This test method for graphite makes use ofa machined notch with sharp cracking at the root

9、of the notch because ofthe nature of graphite. Therefore, fracture toughness values determinedwith this method may not be interchanged with KIcas defined in TestMethod E399.1.4 This test method gives fracture toughness values, KIcand critical strain energy release rate, GIcfor specific condi-tions o

10、f environment, deformation rate, and temperature. Frac-ture toughness values for a graphite grade can be functions ofenvironment, deformation rate, and temperature.1.5 This test method is divided into two major parts. Thefirst major part is the main body of the standard, whichprovides general inform

11、ation on the test method, the applica-bility to materials comparison and qualification, and require-ments and recommendations for fracture toughness testing.The second major part is composed of annexes, which provideinformation related to test apparatus and test specimen geom-etry.Main Body SectionS

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method involves an appli

37、cation of force to abeam test specimen in three-point flexure. The test specimencontains a straight-through notch in the center. The equationsfor calculating the fracture toughness have been established onthe basis of linear-elastic stress analyses.4.2 Notched Beam MethodA straight-through notch ism

38、achined in a beam test specimen. The applied force on thenotched test specimen as a function of time and actuatordisplacement or specimen deflection in three-point flexure, or acombination thereof, are recorded for analysis. The fracturetoughness, KIc, is calculated from the maximum (fracture)force,

39、 the test specimen dimensions, the measured notch depth,and the support span of the test fixture. Calculation of strainenergy release rate, G, requires a determination of specimencompliance, and crack length at each load point of the loadversus displacement curve. The maximum G derived from thestrai

Test Specimen7.1 Test Specimen ConfigurationThe specimen shall havea straight-through machined V-notch with a maximum notchroot radius of 0.10 mm. The notch may be sharpened bydrawing an industrial razor blade or s

48、imilar device across thenotch tip to encourage stable crack extension from the as-machined notch tip.7.1.1 The included angle of the razor blade edge should beless than the specimen notch angle. It is recommended that thesharpening process be controlled such that this step is made ina consistent, me

49、asurable manner across the width of the notch.Manual sharpening introduces uncertainty in the initial notchdepth and may also cause premature failure.7.1.2 The ease with which a crack initiates from a machinednotch depends on both the width of the notch, particularly thenotch tip asperity, and the average grain size of the materialunder consideration. Because typical graphite grades contain10 percent to 20 percent porosity, and the graphite grains haveMorowski microcracks within them, it is expected that theFIG. 1 Specimen Dimensi
