5、ardmetalsDetermination of Transverse Rup-ture Strength3. Significance and Use3.1 This test method is used as a means of determining thequality of cemented carbide grade powders by measuring theirsintered strength. It is performed on test specimens prepared tospecified shape, dimensions, and surface

6、finish; test specimensmay be prepared from finished parts if size permits. There is noknown standard material for this test method. The transverserupture strength of cemented carbides is not a design value.3.1.1 Most commercial cemented carbides have mechanicalbehavior that is best classified as bri

7、ttle (negligible ductility).Fracture strengths are dependent on internal or surface flaws.Examples of incoherent internal flaws are macropores, Type Bporosity (see Test Method B276), and inclusions of foreignparticles. Such flaws are randomly distributed spatially and insize within the sintered mate

8、rial. This imparts a statisticalnature to any transverse rupture strength measurement.3.1.2 The stress distribution in a beam in three-point loadingis non-uniform. It increases linearly along the span to amaximum at the center, and varies linearly through any sectionfrom compression on the top to te

9、nsion on the bottom. Themaximum tensile stress therefore occurs at center span in thebottom most fibers of the sample, and is defined as thetransverse rupture strength at failure. Failure is initiated at arandom flaw site, which is most probably not coincident withthe maximum stress. This imparts an

10、 additional statisticalnature to transverse rupture strength measurements.4. Apparatus4.1 Either a specially adapted machine for applying the loador a special fixture suitable for use with a conventionalload-applying machine may be used. In either case, theapparatus shall have the following parts:4.

11、1.1 Two ground-cemented-carbide cylinders 0.250 60.001 in. (6.35 6 0.02 mm) in diameter, at least 0.500 in. (13mm) in length with the long axes parallel, and center to centerspacing of 0.563 6 0.005 in. (14.3 6 0.1 mm).4.1.2 Amovable member (free to move substantially only ina line perpendicular to

12、the plane established by the axes of thetwo cylinders) containing a 0.4 6 0.05-in. (10 6 1.3-mm)cemented-tungsten-carbide ball or a ground-cemented-carbidecylinder of the same dimensions as, and with axis parallel to,those of the two previously mentioned cylinders (see 4.1.1).This ball or cylinder s

13、hall be so positioned that movements ofthe member will cause the ball or cylinder to contact aspecimen placed on the two lower cylinders at the midpoint ofthe span between them.4.1.3 The apparatus shall be so constructed that the appli-cation of a sufficient load to the movable member to effectbreak

14、ing of a specimen will not cause appreciable deflection ofthe line of movement of the movable member and the planeestablished by the two fixed cylinders. The apparatus shall becapable of applying sufficient load to break the specimen. Theapparatus shall be capable of registering the load required1Th

18、 specimen. Thecemented-tungsten-carbide ball and cylinders shall not showpermanent deformation after use.5. Specimen Size5.1 The cemented carbide specimens shall be ground to thefollowing dimensions: 0.200 6 0.010 in. (5.00 6 0.25 mm)thick by 0.250 6 0.010 in. (6.25 6 0.25 mm) wide by 0.750 in.(19.0

19、 mm) minimum long.6. Specimen Preparation6.1 Specimens shall be ground to a surface finish of 15 in.(0.381 m) rms maximum on four sides, and to the tolerancesspecified in Section 5. All grinding marks shall be parallel tothe length, 0.750 in. (19.05 mm), axis. Opposite ground facesshall be parallel

20、within 0.001 in. (0.0254 mm). The two facesthat are perpendicular to the length axis need not be ground.Careful grinding techniques should be used to prevent variousforms of surface cracking (flaws) that will degrade the mea-sured strength. Long-established practice recommends the useof soft resin b

21、onded diamond wheels, and copious quantities ofcoolant. For surface grinding, no pass shall exceed 0.0005 in.(0.0127 mm) in depth.6.2 The four edges of the specimen representing the inter-section of the ground faces shall be chamfered or honed to amaximum of 0.010 in. (0.25 mm) by 45 degrees. Any gr

22、indingmarks shall be parallel to the long axis of the specimen.6.3 Each specimen shall be measured to within 0.001 in.(0.02 mm) in both directions perpendicular to the length axis.Adjacent ground sides shall be at right angles to each otherwithin 2 degrees.6.4 Each specimen shall be visually inspect

23、ed after grind-ing. Any specimen on which cracks, chips, or obvious struc-tural defects appear on the ground surfaces shall be eliminatedfrom the test.7. Procedure7.1 Visually examine the cylinders and ball in the fixture forcracks, chips, deformation, or misalignment and check themovable member for

24、 freedom of movement. Correct anydefects prior to use.7.2 Place a properly prepared and measured specimen onthe fixture with the long axis perpendicular to the cylinders andwith the 0.250-in. (6.25-mm) face resting on the two cylinders.Then adjust the movable member so that the ball or uppercylinder

25、 contacts the specimen without substantial impact. If aball is used, place the specimen so that the ball touches themidpoint of the specimen width. Apply the load at a rate notexceeding 350 lbf/s (1.5 kN/s). Fracture should occur withinthe middle one third of the span between the supportingcylinders

26、 on the tension side of the specimen. Record thenumber of pounds required to cause fracture.7.3 Perform all tests at room temperature but not lower than65F (18C).7.4 Five specimens shall be tested.8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the transverse rupture strength as follows:S 5 3PL/2bh2(1)where:S = transve

27、rse rupture strength, psi (MPa),P = load, lb (N) required to fracture,L = length of span, in. (mm),b = specimen width, in. (mm), andh = specimen thickness, in. (mm).9. Report9.1 One, but only one, of the five values obtained will beconsidered invalid if its deviation from the mean of the otherfour v

28、alues is excessive as determined by the following:9.1.1 Take the average of the other four values.9.1.2 Find the deviation of the values from the average.9.1.3 Total the four deviations.9.1.4 If the value omitted has a greater deviation than thetotal of the four other deviations, it is dropped. Othe

29、rwise, allfive values must be considered valid.9.1.5 Example:Values Determined,psiDeviation fromAverage of 4180 000 20 000200 000 0205 000 5 000215 000 15 000150 000 (50 000)Average of 5 190 000 40 000Average of 4 200 000The last value is dropped. Had it been 160 000 to 240 000psi, it would have to

30、be included in the average.9.2 Report the transverse rupture strength as the mean of thevalid values. Also report the standard deviation of these validvalues. If less than five valid values are used in calculating themean, the number of valid values used in the calculation of themean and the standar

31、d deviations of these valid values are to bereferenced in the report.10. Precision and Bias10.1 The statistical nature of transverse rupture strength incemented carbide was discussed in 3.1. This causes theprecision and bias of the test to be inseparable from statisticalnature of the material behavi

32、or. This dilemma is compensatedfor by requiring the reporting of the standard deviation of thetest values.11.
