Summary of Test Method3.1 The electrical resistance of a 0.25-m long (minimum)test specimen is measured with a Kelvin

5、-type resistance bridgeor a digital multimeter or the potentiometer-ammeter method.The resistivity is then calculated from the resistance measure-ment and the dimensions of the specimen and is known as theelectrical resistivity of the material. This value is equal to theresistance between opposite f

6、aces of a cube of unit dimensions.4.

Test Specimen6.1 The test specimen shall be a straight strip or bar or wireof substantially uniform cross-sectional area.6.2 It shall have a minimum length of 0.25 m. Stripspecimens preferably should have a uniform wi

8、dth of 0.03 mminimum, unless not available.6.2.1 If width of the strip material to be sampled preventsobtaining a sample of 0.03-m minimum width, the specimenwidth to be used shall be the maximum obtainable and shall beagreed upon between the manufacturer and the purchaser.6.2.2 Bars and wires havin

Oiland

10、 grease, if present on the surface, shall be removed with asuitable solvent.

17、 broad range of resistance.8. Calculation8.1 Strip Specimens:8.1.1 Determine the average cross-sectional area of the testspecimen from the weight, length, and density as follows:A 5 m/ld (1)where:A = cross-sectional area of test specimen, m2;m = mass of test specimen, kg;l = length of test specimen,

18、 m; andd = density of test specimen, kg/m3, determined in accor-dance with Practice A 34/A 34M.8.1.2 Eq 1 assumes a negligible mass of any coatingmaterial.8.2 Bar and Wire SpecimensThe cross-sectional area ofthe test specimen shall be based on direct measurements witha micrometer or caliper.8.3 Calc

19、ulate resistivity from the measured value of electri-cal resistance and the cross-sectional area as follows:r5RA/l2(2)where:r = electrical resistivity of the material, V m;R = resistance of electrical path, V;A = cross-sectional area of electrical path, m2; andl2= length of electrical path between p

Precision and Bias9.1 Although no rigorous interlaboratory comparisons ofthis test method have been performed, it is estimated that thereproducibility standard deviation is no greater than 2 % of themean.9.2 The bi

22、as of this test method is believed to be zero.10. Keywords10.1 electrical resistivity; magnetic alloy; potentiometer-ammeter; resistance bridgeANNEX(Mandatory Information)A1. RESISTIVITIESA1.1 This test method assumes the establishment of auniform current density along the test specimen throughout t

23、heregion between the potential contacts. The current contactsshould be in the form of transverse clamps covering at least80 % and preferably the entire width of the specimen. Thepotential contacts can be either knife edge or point contacts.A1.1.1 If a potentiometer is used, a suitable dc source anda

24、mmeter are required to establish and measure the total currentin the specimen, which should be limited to avoid excessiveheating. The required R is then the ratio of the measuredpotential drop to the measured current. When the potentiometeris balanced, no current flows in the potential leads so that

25、 anycontact resistance at the potential points is of no consequence.A1.1.2 The Kelvin bridge is calibrated to read directly theresistance between the potential points without knowledge ofthe current in the specimen. Contact resistance at the potentialpoints and the resistance of the four leads to th

26、e specimen arenot a part of the required R and are usually negligible portionsof the corresponding components of the bridge system.A1.1.3 Digital multimeters used for measuring resistance inthe range required for this test method will be equipped forfour-wire ohm measurements. In the four-wire metho

27、d, acontrolled source current is applied to the resistance to bemeasured via the current leads, and the voltage drop is sensedacross the potential (or sense) leads. Since the input resistanceof the digital multimeter is very large (typically greater than 10MV), the contact resistance between the sen

28、se leads and thespecimen and the resistance of the leads do not affect themeasurement.A1.2 Typical resistivities of iron-silicon-aluminum alloysteel sheets are shown in Fig. A1.1 and other soft magneticalloys in Table A1.1. Commercial electrical steels are low-carbon, silicon-iron, or silicon-alumin

29、um-iron alloys contain-ing up to 3.5 % silicon and only a small amount of aluminum.A 712 97 (2002)2ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin this standard.

The intercept constant 0.1325 applies only to steels having alloying elements over about 0.15 %. Asthe percentage of alloying elements decreases to low values, the intercept constant decreases
