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

7、n 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 Use5.1 Measurement of co

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.

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 themagnetic field coil sp

Precision and Bias10.1 The precision of this test method is based on aninterlaboratory study of ASTM B887- Standard Test Methodfor Determination of Coercivity (Hcs) of Cemented Carbides,conducted in 2010. Three la

21、boratories participated in thisstudy, recording the coercivity on three specimens each, of tendifferent materials. This procedure was performed three timeson each material in order to determine the precision of the testmethod. Every “test result” represents an individual observa-tion. Except for the

22、 limited number of participating laborato-ries, Practice E691 was followed for the design and analysis ofthe data.410.1.1 Repeatability limit (r)Two test results obtainedwithin one laboratory shall be judged not equivalent if theydiffer by more than the “r” value for that material; “r” is theinterva

26、btained inthis ILS must not be treated as exact mathematical quantitieswhich are applicable to all circumstances and uses. The limitednumber of laboratories reporting results guarantees that therewill be times when differences greater than predicted by theILS results will arise, sometimes with consi

27、derably greater orsmaller frequency than the 95% probability limit would imply.Consider the precision limits as general guides, and theassociated probability of 95% as only a rough indicator of whatcan be expected.10.2 BiasMeasurement of coercive force is a relativecomparison against well characteri

28、zed reference materials (seeSection 8). No statement about bias can be made due to theeffects of test specimen shape, variations in the binder contentthat are within material or product specification, and thepresence of carbon deficiency.10.3 The precision statement was determined through sta-tistic
