Significance and Use4.1 In the utilization of struc

21、tural materials in elevatedtemperature environments, components that are susceptible tofatigue damage may experience some form of simultaneouslyvarying thermal and mechanical forces throughout a givencycle. These conditions are often of critical concern becausethey combine temperature dependent and

22、cycle dependent(fatigue) damage mechanisms with varying severity relating tothe phase relationship between cyclic temperature and cyclicmechanical strain. Such effects can be found to influence theevolution of microstructure, micromechanisms of degradation,and a variety of other phenomenological pro

23、cesses that ulti-mately affect cyclic life. The strain-controlled thermomechani-cal fatigue test is often used to investigate the effects ofsimultaneously varying thermal and mechanical loadings underidealized conditions, where cyclic theoretically uniform tem-perature and strain fields are external

24、ly imposed and controlledthroughout the gage section of the specimen.5. Test Apparatus5.1 Testing MachineAll tests shall be performed in a testsystem with tension-compression loading capability and veri-fied in accordance with Practices E4 and E467. The test system(test frame and associated fixtures

25、) shall be in compliance withthe bending strain criteria specified in Practices E606, E1012,and E467. The test system shall be able to independentlycontrol both temperature and total strain. In addition it shall becapable of adding the measured thermal strain to the desiredmechanical strain to obtai

26、n the total strain needed for theindependent control.5.2 Gripping FixturesAny fixture, such as those specifiedin Practice E606, is acceptable provided it meets the alignmentcriteria specified in Practice E606, and the specimen failswithin the uniform gage section. Specimens with threaded endstypical

27、ly tend to require more effort than those with smoothshank ends to meet the alignment criteria; for this reason,smooth shank specimens are preferred over specimens withthreaded ends. Fixtures used for gripping specimens shall bemade from a material that can withstand prolonged usage,particularly at

28、high temperatures. The design of the fixtureslargely depends upon the design of the specimen. Typically, acombination of hydraulically-actuated collet grips and smoothshank specimens provide good alignment and high lateralstiffness.5.3 Force TransducerThe force transducer shall be placedin series wi

29、th the load train and shall comply with thespecifications in Practices E4 and E467.5.4 ExtensometersAxial deformation in the gage sectionof the specimen should be measured with an extensometer. Theextensometers (including optical extensometers, using an ap-propriate calibration procedure) should qua

30、lify as Class B-2 orbetter in accordance with Practice E83.5.5 Transducer CalibrationAll transducers shall be cali-brated in accordance with the recommendations of the respec-tive manufacturers. Calibration of each transducer shall betraceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology(NI

31、ST).5.6 Heating DeviceSpecimen heating can be accom-plished by various techniques including induction, direct resis-tance, radiant, or forced air heating. In all such cases, activespecimen cooling (for example, forced air) can be used toachieve desired cooling rates provided that the temperaturerela

32、ted specifications in 7.4 are satisfied.NOTE 2If induction is used, it is advisable to select a generator witha frequency sufficiently low to minimize “skin effects” (for example,preferential heating on the surface and near surface material with respectto the bulk, that is dependent on RF generator

33、frequency) on the specimenduring heating.5.7 Temperature Measurement SystemThe specimen tem-perature shall be measured using thermocouples in contact withthe specimen surface in conjunction with an appropriatetemperature indicating device or non-contacting sensors thatare adjusted for emisivity chan

34、ges by comparison to a refer-ence such as thermocouples.NOTE 3Direct contact between the thermocouple and the specimen isimplied and shall be achieved without affecting the test results (forexample, test data for a specimen when initiation occurred at the point ofcontact of the thermocouple shall be

35、 omitted from consideration). Com-monly used methods of the thermocouple attachment are: resistance spotwelding (outside the gage section), fixing by binding or pressure.NOTE 4Under inductive heating, thermocouple wires may act as heatsinks, and can thus lower the local specimen surface temperature.

36、 ThisE2368 102effect may be substantial at high temperatures. (1)5.7.1 Calibration of the temperature measurement systemshall be in accordance with Method E220.5.8 Data Acquisition SystemA computerized system ca-pable of carrying out the task of collecting and processingforce, extension, temperature

37、, and cycle count data digitally isrecommended. Sampling frequency of data points shall besufficient to ensure correct definition of the hysteresis loopespecially in the regions of reversals. Different data collectionstrategies will affect the number of data points per cycleneeded, however, typicall

38、y 200 points per cycle are required.5.9 Alternatively, an analog system capable of measuringthe same data may be used and would include:FIG. 1 Schematics of Mechanical Strain and Temperature for In- and Out-of-Phase TMF TestsE2368 1035.9.1 An X-Y-Y recorder used to record force, extension,and temper

39、ature hysteresis loops,5.9.2 A strip-chart recorder for several time-dependent pa-rameters: force, extension and temperature,5.9.3 A peak detector per signal, and5.9.4 A cycle counter.NOTE 5The recorders may be replaced with storage devices capableof reproducing the recorded signals either in photog

40、raphic or analog form.These devices are necessary when the rate of recorded signals is greaterthan the maximum slew-rate of the recorder. They allow permanentrecords to be reproduced subsequently at a lower rate.6. Specimens6.1 Specimen Design ConsiderationsAll specimen de-signs shall be restricted

41、to those featuring uniform axial gagesections, as these specimen designs offer a reasonable con-tinuum volume for testing. Tubular specimens are preferred tosolid specimen designs because they will tend to facilitatethermal cycling due to lower material mass and will reduce thepotential for unwanted

42、 radial temperature gradients duringthermal cycling (see 7.4.5).6.2 Specimen GeometrySpecific geometries of tubularspecimens will vary depending upon materials and testingneeds. One of the more critical dimensions is wall thickness,which should be large enough to avoid instabilities duringcyclic loa

43、ding and thin enough to maintain a uniform tempera-ture across the specimen wall. For polycrystalline materials, atleast 10 to 20 grains should be present through the thickness ofthe wall to preserve isotropy. In order to determine the grainsize of the material metallographic samples should be prepa

44、redin accordance with Methods E3 and the average grain sizeshould be measured according to Test Method E112. Repre-sentative examples of tubular specimens, which have beensuccessfully used in TMF testing, are included in Fig. 2.Further general guidance regarding specific geometric detailscan be gain

45、ed from the uniform gage section specimen designspresented in E606. Solid specimen designs such as thosepresented in Practice E606 are also permitted. However, careshall be taken to ensure that radial temperature gradients duringthermal cycling are not excessive; see 7.4.4 and associatednote.NOTE 6F

46、or tubular specimens, wall thicknesses (WT) and outerdiameters (OD) that fall in the following range are often found acceptable:5 0), the mechanical componentof loading should be gradually ramped to its minimum absolutevalue such that this value is reached at the appropriatetemperature in the therma

47、l cycle; at this point, the properlyphased TMF cycle is immediately commenced. For large totalstrain amplitude tests, the mechanical component of strain maybe increased to its final amplitude over multiple cycles toprevent overshoot. Such a gradual increase may also berequired for materials that exh

Themechanical strain shall be maintained to the criteria set forth in7.5, and the specimen temperature condition shall be main-tained to the criteri

49、a set forth in 7.4.3.7.11 Failure CriteriaThe failure criterion used in the testseries should be reported and may consist of one of thefollowing:7.11.1 Specimen SeparationTotal separation or fracture ofthe specimen into two parts at some location within theuniform gage section. Total separation of the specimen outsidethe gage section shall be reported, but not as a specimenseparation failure.7.11.2 Tensile Force DropWith this method, the specimenis considered to have failed when there is some specifiedamount (typically betwe
