Inaddition, product form shall be identified (for example,straight-rolled plate, cross-rolled plate, pancake forging, and soforth) along with material condition (for example, annealed,solution tre

The user shall bereferred to product specifications for detailed processing infor-mation.3.1.3.2 For rectangular sections, the reference directions areidentified as in Fig. 1(a) and Fig. 1(b), which give examples forrolled plate.

37、 time.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method covers the determination of the plane-strain fracture toughness (KIc) of metallic materials byincreasing-force tests of fatigue precracked specimens. Force isapplied either in tension or three-point bending. Details of thetest specimens and experim

38、ental procedures are given in theAnnexes. Force versus crack-mouth opening displacement(CMOD) is recorded either autographically or digitally. Theforce at a 5 % secant offset from the initial slope (correspond-ing to about 2.0 % apparent crack extension) is established bya specified deviation from t

39、he linear portion of the record (1).The value of KIcis calculated from this force using equationsthat have been established by elastic stress analysis of thespecimen configurations specified in this test method. Thevalidity of the KIcvalue determined by this test methoddepends upon the establishment

40、 of a sharp-crack condition atthe tip of the fatigue crack in a specimen having a size adequateto ensure predominantly linear-elastic, plane-strain conditions.To establish the suitable crack-tip condition, the stress-intensity factor level at which specimen fatigue precracking isconducted is limited

41、 to a relatively low value.4.2 The specimen size required for test validity increases asthe square of the materials toughness-to-yield strength ratio.Therefore a range of proportional specimens is provided.5. Significance and Use5.1 The property KIcdetermined by this test method char-acterizes the r

42、esistance of a material to fracture in a neutralenvironment in the presence of a sharp crack under essentiallylinear-elastic stress and severe tensile constraint, such that (1)the state of stress near the crack front approaches tritensileplane strain, and (2) the crack-tip plastic zone is smallcompa

KIcmay also be expected to rise with increasing ligament size.Notwithstanding these variations, however, KIcis

44、believed torepresent a lower limiting value of fracture toughness (for 2 %apparent crack extension) in the environment and at the speedand temperature of the test.5.1.2 Lower values of KIccan be obtained for materials thatfail by cleavage fracture; for example, ferritic steels in theductile-to-britt

45、le transition region or below, where the crackfront length affects the measurement in a stochastic mannerindependent of crack front constraint. The present test methoddoes not apply to such materials and the user is referred to TestMethod E 1921 and E 1820 . Likewise this test method doesnot apply t

46、o high toughness or high tearing-resistance materialswhose failure is accompanied by appreciable amounts ofplasticity. Guidance on testing elastic-plastic materials is givenin Test Method E 1820.5.1.3 The value of KIcobtained by this test method may beused to estimate the relation between failure st

47、ress and cracksize for a material in service wherein the conditions of highconstraint described above would be expected. Backgroundinformation concerning the basis for development of this testmethod in terms of linear elastic fracture mechanics may befound in Refs (1) and (3).5.1.4 Cyclic forces can

48、 cause crack extension at KIvaluesless than KIc. Crack extension under cyclic or sustained forces(as by stress corrosion cracking or creep crack growth) can beinfluenced by temperature and environment. Therefore, whenKIcis applied to the design of service components, differencesbetween laboratory te

49、st and field conditions shall be consid-ered.5.1.5 Plane-strain fracture toughness testing is unusual inthat there can be no advance assurance that a valid KIcwill bedetermined in a particular test. Therefore, compliance with thespecified validity criteria of this test method is essential.5.1.6 Residual stresses can adversely affect the indicatedKQand KIcvalues. The effect can be especially significant forspecimens removed from as-heat treated or otherwise non-stress relieved stock, from weldments, from complex wroughtparts, or from parts with intention
