Summary of Test Method4.1 A test sample is positioned in the dc magnetic field ofthe test apparatus and magnetized to technical saturation. Themagnetic f

7、ield polarity is then reversed and the test sample isdemagnetized by increasing the energy of the reversed mag-netic field until the test sample reaches zero magnetism. Thecoercive force (Hc) is the magnetizing force required to returnthe saturated magnetic induction to zero.5. Significance and Use5

8、.1 Measurement of coercivity provides a relative compari-son of carbide grain size, binder content, and possibly carbondeficiency for a given graded carbide material or product, andmay be employed as a non-destructive measurement indicatingdeviation from a specified norm.5.2 This test method allows

9、the non-destructive estimate ofaverage carbide grain size in sintered cemented carbide hard-metals. It is appropriate for a wide range of compositions andtungsten carbide (WC) WC grain sizes, and can be used foracceptance of material or product to specification.6. Interferences6.1 Hcs measurement is

10、 a non-destructive “bulk” measure-ment that is averaged over the specimen volume. Bi-modalgrain size distributions will give approximately the same Hcvalue as would be obtained from a normal grain size distribu-tion about the same mean value.6.2 Large test specimens must be sized to fit within thema

Current Section 1.2 was renumbered to1.3.(2) The misspelling of asymmetrically
