14、therwise specified, temperature of test shallbe 22.0C. Tolerance shall be 62.0C.8.1.2 Free-running crosshead speed shall be limited perTable 1.8.1.3 Test shall consist of zeroing the force transducer,gripping the specimen, pulling the specimen to 6 % strain,reversing the motion to unload the specime

15、n to less than 7MPa, and then pulling the specimen to failure.8.1.4 For materials with diameter greater than 0.2 mm,strain shall be determined by use of a calibrated extensometerof class C or better (see Practice E83). For materials withdiameter less than or equal to 0.2 mm, strain may be deter-mine

16、d by use of an extensometer or by crosshead motion.When using crosshead motion to calculate strain, the lengthbetween the grips must be 150 mm.8.1.4.1 When using a clip-on extensometer with smalldiameter wire, care must be taken not to bend or distort thewire when attaching the extensometer.8.1.5 Up

18、e between the strain at a stress of 7.0 MPa during unloadingand the strain at a stress of 7.0 MPa during loading.8.1.8 The uniform elongation shall be determined by elon-gation when the maximum load is reached just prior to neckingor fracture, or both.9.

RATIONALEX1.1 During tensile testing of superelastic nitinol material,heat is given off during the austenite to martensite transforma-tion. Strain rate is limited to

22、allow the heat to transfer out of thespecimen. Otherwise the increase in specimen temperature willinfluence the stress-strain response.3X1.2 Measurement of modulus requires very precise mea-surements beyond the scope of this standard. Test MethodsE 111 and E 1875 address determination of modulus. Fo

23、rsuperelastic nitinol, the dynamic method (Test Method E 1875)is preferred. Note that the modulus exhibits large variation withthe martensitic transformation.4X1.3 Due to experimental problems associated with the3Shaw, J.

Inaddition, force transducers

27、are typically not calibrated at zeroload. For these reasons, the residual elongation is measuredwhile there is a small load 7 MPa on the sample.X1.4 Use of crosshead motion to calculate strain is allowedfor small wires due to the possibility of distorting the wire withclip-on type extensometers. In

28、this case, a minimum lengthbetween grips is specified to minimize elongation errors due todeflection of the testing equipment. Another alternative is touse a non-contacting video extensometer.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection wit
