Significance and Use4.1 The elevated-temperature tension test gives a usefulestimate of the ability of metals to withstand
13、the application ofapplied tensile forces. Using established and conventionalrelationships it can be used to give some indication of probablebehavior under other simple states of stress, such as compres-sion, shear, etc. The ductility values give a comparativemeasure of the capacity of different mate

17、iversally valid. A similarcomparative relationship exists between tensile ductility andstrain-controlled, low-cycle fatigue life under simple states ofstress. The results of these tension tests can be considered asonly a questionable comparative measure of the strength andductility for service times
18、 of thousands of hours. Therefore, theprincipal usefulness of the elevated-temperature tension test isto assure that the tested material is similar to reference materialwhen other measures such as chemical composition andmicrostructure also show the two materials are similar.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing
19、Machine:5.1.1 The accuracy of the testing machine shall be withinthe permissible variation specified in Practices E4.5.1.2 Precaution should be taken to assure that the force onthe specimens is applied as axially as possible. Perfect axialalignment is difficult to obtain especially when the pull rod
20、sand extensometer rods pass through packing at the ends of thefurnace. However, the machine and grips should be capable ofloading a precisely made specimen so that the maximumbending strain does not exceed 10 % of the axial strain, whenthe calculations are based on strain readings taken at zero forc
21、eand at the lowest force for which the machine is beingqualified.NOTE 1This requirement is intended to limit the maximum contribu-tion of the testing apparatus to the bending which occurs during a test. Itis recognized that even with qualified apparatus different tests may havequite different percen
22、t bending strain due to chance orientation of aloosely fitted specimen, lack of symmetry of that particular specimen,lateral force from furnace packing, and thermocouple wire, etc. The scantevidence available at this time3indicates that the effect of bending strainon test results is not sufficient,
23、except in special cases, to require themeasurement of this quantity on each specimen tested.5.1.2.1 In testing of brittle material even a bending strain of10 % may result in lower strength than would be obtained withimproved axiality. In these cases, measurements of bendingstrain on the specimen to
24、be tested may be specificallyrequested and the permissible magnitude limited to a smallervalue.5.1.2.2 In general, equipment is not available for determin-ing maximum bending strain at elevated temperatures. Thetesting apparatus may be qualified by measurements of axialitymade at room temperature us
25、ing the assembled machine, pullrods, and grips used in high temperature testing. The specimenform should be the same as that used during the elevated-temperature tests and designed so that only elastic strains occurthroughout the reduced section. This requirement may neces-sitate use of a material d
26、ifferent from that used during theelevated-temperature test. See Practice E 1012 for recom-mended methods for determining specimen alignment.5.1.2.3 Gripping devices and pull rods may oxidize, warp,and creep with repeated use at elevated temperatures. Increasedbending stresses may result. Therefore,
27、 grips and pull rodsshould be periodically retested for axiality and reworked whennecessary.5.1.3 The testing machine shall be equipped with a means ofmeasuring and controlling either the strain rate or the rate ofcrosshead motion or both to meet the requirements in 9.6.5.1.4 For high-temperature te
28、sting of materials that arereadily attacked by their environment (such as oxidation ofmetal in air), the specimen may be enclosed in a capsule so thatit can be tested in a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. Whensuch equipment is used, the necessary corrections must bemade to determine the actual forces
29、 seen by the specimen. Forinstance, compensation must be made for differences in pres-sures inside and outside of the capsule and for any variation inthe forces applied to the specimen due to sealing ring friction,bellows or other features.5.2 Heating Apparatus:5.2.1 The apparatus for and method of
30、heating the speci-mens should provide the temperature control necessary tosatisfy the requirements specified in 9.4.5.2.2 Heating shall be by an electric resistance or radiationfurnace with the specimen in air at atmospheric pressure unlessother media are specifically agreed upon in advance.NOTE 2Th
31、e media in which the specimens are tested may have aconsiderable effect on the results of tests. This is particularly true when theproperties are influenced by oxidation or corrosion during the test.5.3 Temperature-Measuring Apparatus:5.3.1 The method of temperature measurement must besufficiently s
32、ensitive and reliable to ensure that the temperatureof the specimen is within the limits specified in 9.4.4.5.3.2 Temperature should be measured with thermocouplesin conjunction with the appropriate temperature indicatinginstrumentation.NOTE 3Such measurements are subject to two types of error. Ther
33、mocouple calibration and instrument measuring errors initially introduceuncertainty as to the exact temperature. Secondly both thermocouples andmeasuring instruments may be subject to variation with time. Commonerrors encountered in the use of thermocouples to measure temperaturesinclude: calibrati
34、on error, drift in calibration due to contamination ordeterioration with use, lead-wire error, error arising from method ofattachment to the specimen, direct radiation of heat to the bead, heat-conduction along thermocouple wires, etc.5.3.3 Temperature measurements should be made with ther-mocouples
35、 of known calibration. Representative thermo-couples should be calibrated from each lot of wires used formaking base-metal thermocouples. Except for relatively lowtemperatures of exposure, base-metal thermocouples are sub-ject to error upon reuse, unless the depth of immersion andtemperature gradien
36、ts of the initial exposure are reproduced.Consequently base-metal thermocouples should be verified bythe use of representative thermocouples and actual thermo-couples used to measure specimen temperatures should not beverified at elevated temperatures. Base-metal thermocouplesalso should not be reus
37、ed without clipping back to remove wireexposed to the hot zone and rewelding. Any reuse of base-metal thermocouples after relatively low-temperature use with-out this precaution should be accompanied by recalibration3Subcommittee E28.10 on Effect of Elevated Temperature on Properties requestsfactual
38、 information on the effect of nonaxiality of loading on test results.E21052data demonstrating that calibration was not unduly affected bythe conditions of exposure.5.3.3.1 Noble metal thermocouples are also subject to errorsdue to contamination, etc., and should be periodically annealedand verified.
39、 Thermocouples should be kept clean prior toexposure and during use at elevated temperatures.5.3.3.2 Measurement of the emf drift in thermocouplesduring use is difficult. When drift is a problem during tests, amethod should be devised to check the readings of thethermocouples on the specimen during
40、the test. For reliablecalibration of thermocouples after use the temperature gradientof the testing furnace must be reproduced during the recalibra-tion.5.3.4 Temperature-measuring, controlling, and recording in-struments should be verified periodically against a secondarystandard, such as a precisi
41、on potentiometer and if necessaryre-calibrated. Lead-wire error should be checked with the leadwires in place as they normally are used.5.4 Extensometer System:5.4.1 Practice E83, is recommended as a guide for selectingthe required sensitivity and accuracy of extensometers. Fordetermination of offse
42、t yield strength at 0.1 % or greater, aClass B-2 extensometer may be used. The extensometer shouldmeet the requirements of Practice E83and should, in addition,be tested to assure its accuracy when used in conjunction witha furnace at elevated temperature. One such test is to measureat elevated tempe
43、rature the stress and strain in the elastic rangeof a metal of known modulus of elasticity. Combinations ofstress and temperature which will result in creep of thespecimen during the extensometer system evaluation should beavoided.NOTE 4If an extensometer of Class B-2 or better is attached to thered
44、uced section of the specimen, the slope of the stress-strain curve willusually be within 10 % of the modulus of elasticity.5.4.2 Non-axiality of loading is usually sufficient to causesignificant errors at small strains when strain is measured ononly one side of the specimen.4Therefore, the extensome
45、tershould be attached to and indicate strain on opposite sides ofthe specimen. The reported strain should be the average of thestrains on the two sides, either a mechanical or electricalaverage internal to the instrument or a numerical average oftwo separate readings.5.4.3 When feasible the extensom
46、eter should be attacheddirectly to the reduced section of the specimen. When neces-sary, other arrangements (discussed in 9.6.3) may be used byprior agreement of the parties concerned. For example, specialarrangements may be necessary in testing brittle materialswhere failure is apt to be initiated
47、at an extensometer knifeedge.5.4.4 To attach the extensometer to miniature specimensmay be impractical. In this case, separation of the specimenholders or crossheads may be recorded and used to determinestrains corresponding to the 0.2 % offset yield strength. Thevalue so obtained is of inferior acc
48、uracy and must be clearlymarked as “approximate yield strength.” The observed exten-sion should be adjusted by the procedure described in 9.6.3 and10.1.3.5.4.5 The extensometer system should include a means ofindicating strain rate.NOTE 5The strain rate limits listed in 9.6 are difficult to maintain
49、manually by using equipment which has a pacer disk and a follower hand.Equipment that makes timing marks on the edge of the force-strain recordrequires some trial and error to set the machine controls to give thespecified rate during yielding. Such marks are, however, very useful indetermining the strain rate after test. Convenient pacers, recently offeredby several manufacturers, work on the principle of an indicating tachom-eter. The machine is manually adjusted to keep the indicator hand of thepacer stationary at a predetermined number.5.5 Room-Temperature ControlUnle
