Tolerance shall be 62.0C.8.1.2 Free-running crosshead speed shall be limited perTable 1.8.1.3 The test shall consist of zeroing the force transducer,gripping the specimen, pulling the specimen to 6 % strain,reversing the motion to unload the specimen to less than 7MPa, and then pulling the sp

Precision and Bias310.1 An interlaboratory study was conducted in accordancewith Practice E 691 using three different diameters of super-elastic wire.

22、For wire diameters of 0.2 and 0.5 mm, elevenlaboratories participated in the study with each laboratoryobtaining three results for each diameter. For the 2.5 mmdiameter wire, eight laboratories participated in the study witheach laboratory obtaining three results. The details are given inASTM Resear

The terms repeatability limit and reproduc-ibility limit are used as specified in Practice E 177.10.3 No measurement of bias is possible with this testmethod since there is presently no accepted reference

27、ile testing of superelastic nitinol material,heat is given off during the austenite-to-martensite transforma-tion. Strain rate is limited to allow the heat to transfer out of thespecimen. Otherwise the increase in specimen temperature willinfluence the stress-strain response.4X1.2 Measurement of mod

28、ulus of elasticity requires veryprecise measurements beyond the scope of this standard. TestMethods E 111 and E 1876 address determination of modulusof elasticity. For superelastic nitinol, the dynamic method (TestMethod E 1876) is preferred. Note that the modulus of elas-ticity exhibits large varia

29、tion with the martensitic transforma-tion.5X1.3 Due to experimental problems associated with theestablishment of the origin of the stress-strain curve, such asmechanical backlash, initial grip alignment, and specimencurvature, residual elongation may be negative at zero force. Inaddition, force tran

30、sducers are typically not calibrated at zeroforce. For these reasons, the residual elongation is measuredwhile there is a small stress of 7 MPa on the sample.4Shaw, J.
