Significance and Use4.1 This test method may be used for material development,quality control, characterization, and design data generationpurposes.4.2 This test method determines the max
8、imum loading on agraphite specimen with simple beam geometry in 4-pointbending, and it provides a means for the calculation of flexuralstrength at ambient temperature and environmental conditions.5. Apparatus5.1 The testing machine shall conform to the requirementsof Practices E4.5.2 The four-point
9、loading fixture shall consist of bearingblocks or cylindrical bearings spaced in a third-point loadingconfiguration (see Test Method C78).5.3 The fixture shall ensure that forces applied to the beamare normal only and without eccentricity through the use ofspherical bearing blocks (see Test Method C
10、78) or articulatingroller bearing assemblies (see Test Method C1161).5.3.1 The bearing block or roller bearing diameter shall bebetween110 and120 of the specimen support span. A hardenedsteel bearing block or its equivalent is necessary to preventdistortion of the loading member. Support surfaces mu
11、st befree to pivot or rotate to relieve frictional constraints.5.4 The directions of loads and reactions may be maintainedparallel by judicious use of linkages, rocker bearings, andflexure plates. Eccentricity of loading can be avoided by theuse of spherical bearing blocks or articulating roller bea

Refer to the attached figure for a suggested four-pointloading fixture.6. Test Specimen6.1 PreparationThe test specimen shall be prepared toyield a parallelepiped of re

Sample edges should be freefrom visible flaws and chips.NOTE 1For ease of machining to conventional standards, 3 m Ra isequivalent to 125 in. AA. For finishing
17、 of specimens with maximumparticle sizes of greater than 0.150 mm, grain structure and porosity canlimit the accurate measurement of roughness. In these cases, the surfaceroughness should be visually equivalent to 3 m Ra as estimated based onthe visible surface of the graphite6.2 SizeThe size of the
18、 test specimen shall be selectedsuch that the minimum dimension of the specimen is greaterthan 5 times the largest particle dimension. The test specimenshall have a length to thickness ratio of at least 8, and a widthto thickness ratio not greater than 2.6.3 MeasurementsAll dimensions shall be measu
19、red to thenearest 0.5 %.6.4 OrientationThe specimen shall be marked or other-wise identified to denote its orientation with respect to theparent stock.6.5 DryingEach specimen must be dried in a vented ovenat 120 C to 150 C for a period of 2 h. The sample must thenbe stored in a dry environment or a
20、desiccator and held thereprior to testing.NOTE 2Water, either in the form of liquid or as humidity in air, canhave an effect on flexural mechanical behavior. Excessive adsorbed watercan result in a reduced failure stress due to a decrease in fracture surfaceenergy.7. Procedure7.1 Center the load app
21、lying bearing surfaces and the testspecimen on the support bearing surfaces. The load span is atleast two times the sample thickness, and the support spanthree times the load span, but not less than 40 mm. The loadand support bearings shall be carefully positioned such that thespans are accurate to
22、within 0.5%. Overlap each end of thespecimen by at least the specimen thickness. Refer to Fig. 1.7.2 The load applying bearing surfaces shall make contactwith the upper surface of the test specimen. Load and supportbearing blocks must be parallel to each other and perpendicularto the test surfaces.
23、Use a loading rate of 1.25 mm min or lesson screw-driven testing machines. On other test devices, loadthe part at a uniform rate such that breakage occurs in 5 s ormore.8. Test Data Record8.1 Measurements to 0.025 mm shall be made to determinethe average width and thickness of the specimen.8.2 The l
24、oad at failure must be recorded to an accuracy of62 % of the full-scale value. A full-scale value of 5 kN wouldrequire recording to an accuracy of 6100 N.9. Calculation9.1 If the fracture occurs within the span length between theload bearing surfaces (that is, within the load span), calculatethe fle
25、xural strength as follows:S 5 PL/ bd2where:S = flexural strength, MPa,P = maximum applied load indicated by the testing machine,N,L = support span length, mm,b = average width of specimen, mm, andd = average thickness of specimen, mm.9.2 If the fracture occurs outside of the span length betweenload
26、bearing blocks, the location of the fracture shall berecorded as such, and the results of the test shall be reported.Occasional breaks outside the inner load span in 4-point flexureare not unusual, and can often be attributed to large naturalflaws in the material.NOTE 3Angular fractures that effecti
27、vely traverse the load rollercontact point but are determined to have initiated at or inside of the loadroller span can be reasonably attributed to failure at the maximum flexurestress, and should be recorded as having fractured inside of the span lengthbetween the load roller blocks.9.3 If fracture
28、 occurs in less than 5 s, the results shall bediscarded but reported.9.4 An alternative calculation for flexural strength can beused if the span length between the load bearing surfaces is notaccurately measured to three times the load span:S 5 3 Pa/bd2(1)where:a = distance between the load and supp

The equations do not account for subsurface origins or breaksoutside of the load span, nor do they correct for the potential tension/comp
