This informationmay be useful in comparisons of materials, alloy development, quality control, and design under certain circumstances.4.2 The results of tension tests of specimens machined to standardized dimensions

The test method

25、s have beenused extensively in the trade for this purpose.5. Apparatus5.1 Testing MachinesMachines used for tension testing shall conform to the requirements of Practices E4. The forces usedin determining tensile strength and yield strength shall be within the verified force application range of the

26、 testing machine asdefined in Practices E4.5.2 Gripping Devices:5.2.1 GeneralVarious types of gripping devices may be used to transmit the measured force applied by the testing machineto the test specimens. To ensure axial tensile stress within the gage length, the axis of the test specimen should c

27、oincide with thecenter line of the heads of the testing machine. Any departure from this requirement may introduce bending stresses that are notincluded in the usual stress computation (force divided by cross-sectional area).NOTE 1The effect of this eccentric force application may be illustrated by

28、calculating the bending moment and stress thus added. For a standard12.5-mm 0.500-in. diameter specimen, the stress increase is 1.5 percentage points for each 0.025 mm 0.001 in. of eccentricity. This error increasesto 2.5 percentage points/ 0.025 mm 0.001 in. fora9mm0.350-in. diameter specimen and t

29、o 3.2 percentage points/ 0.025 mm 0.001 in. for a 6-mm0.250-in. diameter specimen.NOTE 2Alignment methods are given in Practice E1012.5.2.2 Wedge GripsTesting machines usually are equipped with wedge grips. These wedge grips generally furnish asatisfactory means of gripping long specimens of ductile

30、 metal and flat plate test specimens such as those shown in Fig. 1. If,however, for any reason, one grip of a pair advances farther than the other as the grips tighten, an undesirable bending stress maybe introduced. When liners are used behind the wedges, they must be of the same thickness and thei

31、r faces must be flat and parallel.For best results, the wedges should be supported over their entire lengths by the heads of the testing machine. This requires thatliners of several thicknesses be available to cover the range of specimen thickness. For proper gripping, it is desirable that the entir

32、elength of the serrated face of each wedge be in contact with the specimen. Proper alignment of wedge grips and liners is illustratedin Fig. 2. For short specimens and for specimens of many materials it is generally necessary to use machined test specimens andto use a special means of gripping to en

33、sure that the specimens, when under load, shall be as nearly as possible in uniformlydistributed pure axial tension (see 5.2.3, 5.2.4, and 5.2.5).5.2.3 Grips for Threaded and Shouldered Specimens and Brittle MaterialsA schematic diagram of a gripping device forthreaded-end specimens is shown in Fig.

34、 3, while Fig. 4 shows a device for gripping specimens with shouldered ends. Both of thesegripping devices should be attached to the heads of the testing machine through properly lubricated spherical-seated bearings. Thedistance between spherical bearings should be as great as feasible.E8/E8M 112Dim

Either a set of ni

38、ne or more punch marks 25 mm 1 in. apart, or one or more pairs of punch marks 200mm 8 in. apart may be used.NOTE 2When elongation measurements of 40 mm 1.500 in. wide specimens are not required, a minimum length of reduced section (A)of75mm2.25 in. may be used with all other dimensions similar to th

39、ose of the plate-type specimen.NOTE 3For the three sizes of specimens, the ends of the reduced section shall not differ in width by more than 0.10, 0.05 or 0.02 mm 0.004, 0.002or 0.001 in., respectively. Also, there may be a gradual decrease in width from the ends to the center, but the width at eac

40、h end shall not be more than1 % larger than the width at the center.NOTE 4For each of the three sizes of specimens, narrower widths (W and C) may be used when necessary. In such cases the width of the reducedsection should be as large as the width of the material being tested permits; however, unles

41、s stated specifically, the requirements for elongation in a productspecification shall not apply when these narrower specimens are used.NOTE 5The dimension T is the thickness of the test specimen as provided for in the applicable material specifications. Minimum thickness of 40 mm1.500 in. wide spec

Maximum thickness of 12.5 and 6 mm 0.500 and 0.250 in. wide specimens shall be 19 and 6mm 0.750 and 0.250 in., respectively.NOTE 6For the 40 mm 1.500 in. wide specimen, a 13 mm 0.500 in. minimum radius at the ends of the reduced section is permitted for steelspecimens u

In determining the minimum length, the grips must not extend in to the transition sectionbetween Dimensions A and B, see Note 9.NOTE 8To aid

44、in obtaining axial force application during testing of 6-mm 0.250-in. wide specimens, the overall length should be as large as thematerial will permit, up to 200 mm 8.00 in.NOTE 9It is desirable, if possible, to make the length of the grip section large enough to allow the specimen to extend into th

45、e grips a distance equalto two thirds or more of the length of the grips. If the thickness of 12.5 mm 0.500-in. wide specimens is over 10 mm 0.375 in., longer grips andcorrespondingly longer grip sections of the specimen may be necessary to prevent failure in the grip section.NOTE 10For the three si

46、zes of specimens, the ends of the specimen shall be symmetrical in width with the center line of the reduced section within2.5, 0 1.25 and 0.13 mm 0.10, 0.015 and 0.005 in., respectively. However, for referee testing and when required by product specifications, the ends ofthe 12.5 mm 0.500 in. wide

47、specimen shall be symmetrical within 0.2 mm 0.01 in.NOTE 11For each specimen type, the radii of all fillets shall be equal to each other within a tolerance of 1.25 mm 0.05 in., and the centers ofcurvature of the two fillets at a particular end shall be located across from each other (on a line perpe

48、ndicular to the centerline) within a tolerance of 0.2.5 mm 0.010 in.NOTE 12Specimens with sides parallel throughout their length are permitted, except for referee testing, provided: (a) the above tolerances are used;(b) an adequate number of marks are provided for determination of elongation; and (c

49、) when yield strength is determined, a suitable extensometer is used.If the fracture occurs at a distance of less than 2 W from the edge of the gripping device, the tensile properties determined may not be representative ofthe material. In acceptance testing, if the properties meet the minimum requirements specified, no further testing is required, but if they are less than theminimum requirements, discard the test and retest
