1、Designation: E1921 18Standard Test Method forDetermination of Reference Temperature, To, for FerriticSteels in the Transition Range1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1921; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of re

Scope1.1 This test method covers the determination of a referencetemperature, To, which characterizes the f

3、racture toughness offerritic steels that experience onset of cleavage cracking atelastic, or elastic-plastic KJcinstabilities, or both. The specifictypes of ferritic steels (3.2.1) covered are those with yieldstrengths ranging from 275 to 825 MPa (40 to 120 ksi) andweld metals, after stress-relief a

4、nnealing, that have 10 % orless strength mismatch relative to that of the base metal.1.2 The specimens covered are fatigue precracked single-edge notched bend bars, SE(B), and standard or disk-shapedcompact tension specimens, C(T) or DC(T). A range ofspecimen sizes with proportional dimensions is re

5、commended.The dimension on which the proportionality is based isspecimen thickness.1.3 Median KJcvalues tend to vary with the specimen typeat a given test temperature, presumably due to constraintdifferences among the allowable test specimens in 1.2. Thedegree of KJcvariability among specimen types

6、is analyticallypredicted to be a function of the material flow properties (1)2and decreases with increasing strain hardening capacity for agiven yield strength material. This KJcdependency ultimatelyleads to discrepancies in calculated Tovalues as a function ofspecimen type for the same material. To

7、values obtained fromC(T) specimens are expected to be higher than Tovaluesobtained from SE(B) specimens. Best estimate comparisons ofseveral materials indicate that the average difference betweenC(T) and SE(B)-derived Tovalues is approximately 10C (2).C(T) and SE(B) Todifferences up to 15C have also

8、 beenrecorded (3). However, comparisons of individual, small data-sets may not necessarily reveal this average trend. Datasetswhich contain both C(T) and SE(B) specimens may generateToresults which fall between the Tovalues calculated usingsolely C(T) or SE(B) specimens. It is therefore stronglyreco

9、mmended that the specimen type be reported along withthe derived Tovalue in all reporting, analysis, and discussion ofresults. This recommended reporting is in addition to therequirements in 11.1.1.1.4 Requirements are set on specimen size and the numberof replicate tests that are needed to establis

Note that this threshold loading ratefor application of Annex A1 is a much lower threshold than isrequired in other fracture tough

11、ness test methods such as E399and E1820.1.6 The statistical effects of specimen size on KJcin thetransition range are treated using the weakest-link theory (4)applied to a three-parameter Weibull distribution of fracturetoughness values. A limit on KJcvalues, relative to thespecimen size, is specifi

12、ed to ensure high constraint conditionsalong the crack front at fracture. For some materials, particu-larly those with low strain hardening, this limit may not besufficient to ensure that a single-parameter (KJc) adequatelydescribes the crack-front deformation state (5).1.7 Statistical methods are e

13、mployed to predict the transi-tion toughness curve and specified tolerance bounds for 1Tspecimens of the material tested. The standard deviation of thedata distribution is a function of Weibull slope and median KJc.The procedure for applying this information to the establish-ment of transition tempe

14、rature shift determinations and theestablishment of tolerance limits is prescribed.1.8 This test method assumes that the test material ismacroscopically homogeneous such that the materials haveuniform tensile and toughness properties. The fracture tough-ness evaluation of nonuniform materials is not

15、 amenable to thestatistical analysis methods employed in the main body of thistest method. Application of the analysis of this test method toan inhomogeneous material will result in an inaccurate esti-mate of the transition reference value Toand non-conservativeconfidence bounds. For example, multip
