Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method applies to materials exhibiting a continuous stress-strain curve in the plastic region. The displacement orstrain is applied in

23、a continuous and rate-controlled manner while the normal tensile load and strain are monitored. Theinstantaneous cross-sectional area may be monitored or calculated by assuming constancy of volume in the plastic region.Equations are presented that permit the calculation of the true stress, , true st

Significance and Use5.1 This test method is useful for estimating the strain at the onset of necking in a uniaxial tension test (1). Practically, itprovides an empirical parameter for appraising the relative stretch formability of simi

26、lar metallic systems. The strain-hardeningexponent is also a measure of the increase in strength of a material due to plastic deformation.5.2 The strain-hardening exponent may be determined over the entire plastic stress-strain curve or any portion(s) of thestress-strain curve specified in a product

27、 specification.NOTE 4The engineering strain interval 1020% is commonly used for determining the strain-hardening exponent, n, of formable low-carbon steelproducts5.3 This test method is not intended to apply to any portion of the true -stressstress versus true -strainstrain curve that exhibitsdiscon

28、tinuous behavior; however, the method may be applied by curve-smoothing techniques as agreed upon.NOTE 5For example, those portions of the stress-strain curves for mild steel, aluminum, or other alloys that exhibit yield point and Lders bandelongation, twinning, or PortevinLe Chatelier effect (PLC)

29、may be characterized as behaving discontinuously.NOTE 6Caution should be observed in the use of curve-smoothing techniques as they may affect the n-value.5.4 This test method is suitable for determining the tensile stress-strain response of metallic sheet materials in the plastic regionprior to the

30、onset of necking.E646 1625.5 The n-value may vary with the displacement rate or strain rate used, depending on the metal and test temperature.6.
