Procedure8.1 Procedure shall be per Test Methods E8 with thefollowing additions:8.1.1 Unless otherwise specified, the temperature of the testshall be 22.0C. Tolerance shall be 62.0C.8.1.2 Free-running crosshead speed

15、shall be limited perTable 1.8.1.3 The test shall consist of zeroing the force transducer,gripping the specimen, pulling the specimen to 6 % strain,reversing the motion to unload the specimen to less than 7MPa, and then pulling the specimen to failure.8.1.4 For materials with diameter greater than 0.

16、2 mm,strain shall be determined by use of a calibrated extensometerof class C or better (see Practice E83). For materials withdiameter less than or equal to 0.2 mm, strain may be deter-mined by use of an extensometer or by crosshead motion.When using crosshead motion to calculate strain, the lengthb

17、etween the grips must be 150 mm.8.1.4.1 When using a clip-on extensometer with smalldiameter wire, care must be taken not to bend or distort thewire when attaching the extensometer.8.1.5 Upper plateau strength shall be determined as thevalue of the stress at a strain of 3.0 % during the initial load

18、ingof the specimen.8.1.6 Lower plateau strength shall be determined as thevalue of the stress at a strain of 2.5 % during the unloading ofthe specimen.8.1.7 Residual elongation shall be determined by the differ-ence between the strain at a stress of 7.0 MPa during unloadingand the strain at a stress

Precision and Bias310.1 An interlaboratory study was conducted in accordancewith Practice E 691 using three different diameters of super-elastic wire. For wire diameters of 0.2 and 0.5 mm, elevenlaboratories participat

22、ed in the study with each laboratoryobtaining three results for each diameter. For the 2.5 mmdiameter wire, eight laboratories participated in the study witheach laboratory obtaining three results. The details are given inASTM Research Report RR: F041010.310.2 The results are summarized in Tables 2-

23、6 for eachtensile parameter. The terms repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit are used as specified in Practice E 177.10.3 No measurement of bias is possible with this testmethod since there is presently no accepted reference material.11.

RATIONALEX1.1 During tensile testing of superelastic nitinol material,heat is given off during the austenite-to-martensi

27、te transforma-tion. Strain rate is limited to allow the heat to transfer out of thespecimen. Otherwise the increase in specimen temperature willinfluence the stress-strain response.4X1.2 Measurement of modulus of elasticity requires veryprecise measurements beyond the scope of this standard. TestMet

28、hods E 111 and E 1876 address determination of modulusof elasticity. For superelastic nitinol, the dynamic method (TestMethod E 1876) is preferred. Note that the modulus of elas-ticity exhibits large variation with the martensitic transforma-tion.5X1.3 Due to experimental problems associated with th

29、eestablishment of the origin of the stress-strain curve, such asmechanical backlash, initial grip alignment, and specimencurvature, residual elongation may be negative at zero force. Inaddition, force transducers are typically not calibrated at zeroforce. For these reasons, the residual elongation i
