3、Sections 1.1, 1.2, 3.1 and 3.2 in September 2014.1. Scope*1.1 This test method establishes procedures for the determi-nation of the reversed or repeated bending fatigue properties ofcopper alloy flat-sheet or strip-spring materials by fixedcantilever, constant deflection (that is, constant amplitude

4、 ofdisplacement)-type testing machines. This method is limited toflat stock ranging in thickness from 0.005 to 0.062 in. (0.13 to1.57 mm), to a fatigue-life range of 105to 108cycles, and toconditions where no significant change in stress-strain relationsoccurs during the test.NOTE 1This implies that

5、 the load-deflection characteristics of thematerial do not change as a function of the number of cycles within theprecision of measurement. There is no significant cyclic hardening orsoftening.1.2 UnitsThe values stated in inch-pound units are to beregarded as standard. Values given in parentheses a

7、associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use5.1 The bending fatigue test described in this test methodprovides information on the ability of a copper alloy flat-springmaterial to resist the development of cracks or general me-chanical deteri

12、oration as a result of a relatively large number ofcycles (generally in the range 105to 108) under conditions ofconstant displacement.5.2 This test method is primarily a research and develop-ment tool which may be used to determine the effect ofvariations in materials on fatigue strength and also to

United States1data for use in selecting copper alloy spring materials forservice under conditions of repeated strain cycling.5.3 The results are suitable for direct application in designonly when all design factors such as loading, geom

17、etry of part,frequency of straining, and environmental conditions areknown. The test method is generally unsuitable for an inspec-tion test or a quality control test due to the amount of time andeffort required to collect the data.6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachineThe fatigue testing machine is afixed-

18、cantilever, constant-deflection type machine. In this ma-chine (Fig. 1) the test specimen shall be held as a cantileverbeam in a clamp at one end and deflected by a concentratedload applied near the other end of the apex of the taperedsection (Fig. 2). Either the clamp or the loading member maybe ad

19、justed so that the deflection of the free end of thecantilever is either completely reversed (mean displacementequal to zero) or greater in one direction of bending (meandisplacement not equal to zero).6.2 A suitable counter and monitoring circuit is required toprovide a direct readout of the number

20、 of cycles to completefailure, that is, separation into two pieces.7. Test Specimen7.1 The test specimen shall be of the fixed-cantilever type.Examples of specimens that are typically used are shown inFig. 2.7.2 It is important, therefore, that care be exercised in thepreparation of test specimens,

21、particularly in machining, toassure good workmanship. Improperly prepared test specimenscause unsatisfactory test results.7.2.1 The specimens are best prepared by cross milling astack, approximately 0.75 in. (19 mm) thick, including back-upplates, for which 0.12-in. (3-mm) thick brass sheet stock ma

22、ybe used.7.2.1.1 It is necessary to ensure that any cutting or machin-ing operation required to either rough cut the test specimenfrom the blank, or to machine it to size does not appreciablyalter the metallurgical structure or properties of the material.All cuts taken in machining should be such as

23、 to minimizework hardening of the test specimen.7.2.1.2 In selecting cutting speeds and feed rates, due regardshould be paid to the test-specimen material, and for finishingcuts, to the quality of the surface finish required.NOTE 2It is not practicable to recommend a single procedure forfeeds, speed

24、s, and depth of cut, since this will vary with the materialtested. The procedure used, however, should be noted in reporting testresults, since differences in procedure may produce variability in testresults among different laboratories.7.3 The test specimen surface shall be in the as-receivedcondit

25、ion. The edges shall not be roughed or smoothed, sincethis tends to give an apparent higher fatigue strength.5Burrs,however, may be removed by light stoning.7.4 Test specimens from material that is used in a thermallytreated condition, such as precipitation hardened or stress5George, R.

Calculation of Stress8.1 The maximum bending stress is calculated by using thesimple beam equation:S 5 6PL/bd2(1)where:S = desired bending stress, lb/in.2,P = applied load at the connecting pin (apex of triangle), lb,L = distance between t

28、he connecting pin and the point ofstress, in.,b = specimen width at length L from point of loadapplication, in., andd = specimen thickness, in.9. Machine Calibration9.1 A loading fixture such as that shown in Fig. 3 may beused to determine the load-deflection characteristics of thespecimen. In this

29、fixture the specimen deflection and change inmoment arm under load are measured with the two microm-eters for a given load. The vertical micrometer measures thedeflection of loading pin, d, which follows the motion of theapex formed by the tapered sides. The horizontal micrometer,e, measures the for

30、eshortening of the moment arm as applied tothe same locus. An average load-deflection curve is thenNOTE 1All dimensions are in inches: in. 25.4 = mm.FIG. 2 Sheet or Strip Fatigue Test SpecimensB593 96 (2014)13plotted from this corrected data.
