Summary of Practice4.1 These practices describe the production, by pressing andsintering metal powders, and the preparati
22、on, by machiningsintered blanks, of test specimens used to measure properties ofmetal powders and sintered materials.5. Significance and Use5.1 Test specimens are used to determine the engineeringproperties of PM materials, for example, tensile strength,ductility, impact energy, etc.; property data
23、that are essential tothe successful use of PM material standards. Processing PMtest specimens under production conditions is the most efficientmethod by which to obtain reliable PM material property datasince in most cases it is impractical or impossible to cut testbars from sintered parts.5.2 The p
24、erformance characteristics of metal powders, forexample, compressibility, green strength and dimensionalchanges associated with processing are evaluated using PM testspecimens under controlled conditions. The data obtained areimportant to both metal powder producers and PM partsmanufacturers.5.3 PM
25、test specimens play a significant role in industrialquality assurance programs. They are used to compare prop-erties of a new lot of metal powder with an established lot inan acceptance test and are used in the part manufacturingprocess to establish and adjust production variables.5.4 In those insta
26、nces where it is required to presentequivalent property data for a production lot of PM parts,standard test specimens compacted from the production pow-der mix to the same green density can be processed with theproduction PM parts and then tested to obtain this information.5.5 Material property test
27、ing performed for industrial oracademic research and development projects uses standard PMtest specimens so the test results obtained can be comparedwith previous work or published data.5.6 Powder metallurgy test specimens may have multipleuses. The dimensions and tolerances given in this standard a
28、renominal in many cases. The user is cautioned to make certainthat the dimensions of the test specimen are in agreement withthe requirements of the specific test method to be used.6.

32、erse Rupture Strength Test Specimen:6.2.1 Description and UseThe pressed-to-size transverserupture test specimen, Fig. 2, is produced by compacting metalpowder in tooling similar to that shown in Fig A1.2.6.2.1.1 This rectangular test specimen has multiple uses inPM. Primarily, it is designed to det
33、ermine the transverserupture strength of sintered or heat treated compacts bybreaking the test specimen as a simple beam in three-pointloading following Test Method B 528. But, it is also used tomeasure the dimensional changes of metal powder mixes dueto pressing and sintering or other processing st
34、eps according toTest Method B 610, and it is used in both a 0.250 and 0.500 in.(6.35 and 12.70 mm) thick version to determine green strengthusing the procedure in Test Method B 312.6.2.1.2 It is an acceptable alternative test specimen to thecylindrical compact to determine powder compressibility ac-
35、cording to Test Method B 331. The sintered or heat treatedspecimen may be used to generate data for the elastic con-stants. Youngs Modulus is determined by impulse excitationof vibration and Poissons ratio may then be calculated. Thistest specimen is also a convenient compact on which tomeasure macr

37、Radial Crushing Strength Test Specimen:6.3.1 Description and UseThe radial crushing strengthtest specimen shown in Fig. 3 is compacted to size in tooling(Fig. A2.3) suitable for the production of a thin-walled hollowcylinder within the range of the dimensions listed. The testingprocedure involves th
38、e application of a compressive forceperpendicular to the central axis of the test cylinder andcalculating the radial crushing strength from the breaking loadand test specimen dimensions. Radial crushing strength is thematerial property that is used to quantify the mechanicalstrength of sintered meta
39、l bearings, (oil-impregnated).6.3.1.1 Radial Crushing Strength is determined followingthe procedure in Test Method B 939.6.3.1.2 This test specimen is widely used in a quality controltest to determine the sintered material strength of metal powdermixtures that are to be used for the production of an
40、y metalpowder product because it is a quick, easy test and givesreliable and reproducible results. Laboratories testing powdermixes intended for the manufacture of porous bearings haverecognized that breaking an unsintered test specimen bydiametrical loading will give a green strength value that isr

44、 similar to that shown in Fig. A2.4 in theAnnex. This test specimen has been designed to have aconvenient 1.00 in.2(645.2 mm2) pressing area to simplifycompacting calculations.6.4.1.1 It is intended for determining the tensile propertiesand ductility of PM materials that have not been heat treated(n
45、ot quenched and tempered nor sinter-hardened). The testingprocedures for this unmachined PM test specimen can be foundin Test Method E8.6.4.1.2 The flat tension test specimen is not normally usedwith heat treated PM materials because it may produceunreliable test results and it has a tendency to sli
46、p in the grips.Slippage can be prevented by the use of hydraulic grips, but thesquare corner design of the flat specimen will give rise to stressconcentrations that may result in scattered test values. Themachined 190-Round tension test specimen, Fig. 5, is recom-mended for use with heat treated PM
47、materials.6.4.2 Applicable ASTM Standards:6.4.2.1 See Test Methods E8.6.4.2.2 See the following PM Material Specifications:A811, A 839/A 839M, A 904, B 715, B 783, B 823, andB 853.6.5 Machined 190-Round Tension Test Specimen:6.5.1 Description and UseThe 190-Round tension testspecimen may be prepared
48、 by machining a sintered Izod testspecimen blank, to the shape and dimensions shown in Fig. 5.The gage section shall be free of nicks, scratches, tool marks orother conditions that can deleteriously affect the properties tobe measured. It is primarily used to measure the tensileproperties and ductil
49、ity of heat treated (quenched and temperedor sinter-hardened) PM materials because it gives more con-sistent test data than those obtained with the flat unmachinedtension test specimen, Fig. 4. These tension properties aredetermined following the testing procedures detailed in TestMethod E8.6.5.2 Applicable ASTM Standards:6.5.2.1 See Test Methods E8.6.5.2.2 See the following PM Material Specifications:B 595, B 783, and B 817.COMPRESSION TESTING6.6 Machined Compression Test Specimen:6.6.1 Description and UseThis test specimen, shown inFig. 6, is usually prepared
