21、s of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 chevron-notch test piece test piece in which a two coplanar saw cuts are made at an angle to each other part way through a test piece to leave a remaining cross-section with a sharp tip from which a crack may be initiated in a contro

22、lled or semi-controlled manner 4 Principle, significance and use In the chevron-notched beam method, a crack is generated during the test from a sharp tip resulting when two coplanar notches are cut in a test piece (see Figure 1). This overcomes the need to generate sharp planar cracks before commen

23、cing the test. During the test, the crack front widens as the crack propagates from the tip, resulting in an increase in the force required to maintain growth. Countering this, the test piece becomes more compliant as the crack lengthens, and so the two effects result in a peak load being attained a

24、fter some distance of propagation. The toughness is determined from the peak force applied. This test method employs the chevron notch in a flexural strength test piece, loaded in four-point bending geometry. The advantage is that it can be performed on standard flexural strength test pieces. BS EN

25、14425-3:2010EN 14425-3:2010 (E) 5 The test is most appropriate for homogeneous isotropic materials, but can be used with care on anisotropic materials subject to the geometry of fracture remaining valid. In materials which are inhomogeneous on the scale of the crack dimensions, a wide scatter of res

26、ults and the development of invalid non-planar cracks may occur. In addition, the test is valid primarily for materials which do not show rising crack resistance with increasing crack length. Since the crack width progressively increases as propagation occurs, the concurrent presence of rising crack

27、 resistance means that the crack front would no longer stay straight but would become convex, producing an uncertainty in the calculated results. It should be noted that this test employs a slowly moving crack. The numerical value for the fracture toughness calculated from this method may not be the

28、 same as those from fast crack propagation tests, especially if the susceptibility to subcritical crack growth is significant. 5 Test apparatus 5.1 Flexural strength test apparatus of four-point bending type, in accordance with the requirements in EN 843-1. 5.2 Mechanical testing machine, capable of

29、 accurate recording of load/displacement data for loads in the range 0 N to 500 N. The load shall be calibrated in accordance with EN ISO 7500-1. NOTE A stiff loading system (i.e. frame, load cell and fixtures, etc.) is advantageous for this test. The compliance is ideally less than 5 10-5m/N (see 1

30、). 5.3 Micrometer in accordance with ISO 3611 but measuring to an accuracy of 0,002 mm. 5.4 Calibrated device for measuring dimensions of the cut chevron after fracture, reading to an accuracy of 0,002 mm or better. NOTE This may be achieved by use of an appropriate travelling microscope, or a conve

31、ntional microscope with a calibrated stage micrometer, or a microscope with a micrometer eyepiece. 5.5 Humidity measuring device for measuring relative humidity to an accuracy of 2 %, e.g. those according to ISO 4677. 6 Test pieces 6.1 Material selection Select the material or components from which

32、test pieces are to be machined with reference to the considerations given in EN 1006. 6.2 Test piece dimensions 6.2.1 The test pieces shall preferably be of dimensions as for determination of flexural strength and described in EN 843-1. Alternatively, if availability of material permits, the dimensi

33、ons may be scaled larger for convenience of machining of the notch. NOTE It is usually advantageous to test coarse-grained or heterogeneous materials in larger test piece sizes because it improves the chances of obtaining a valid test (see 7.9). 6.2.2 The standard size test pieces shall be (3,00 0,1

34、5) mm (4,00 0,15) mm in cross-section, and have a minimum length of 45 mm. The surfaces shall be machined to a flatness of better than 0,01 mm over the test piece length, and opposite pairs of faces shall be parallel to better than 0,01 mm over the test piece length. The section should be visibly re

35、ctangular. NOTE Chamfering in accordance with EN 843-1 is unnecessary for this test. BS EN 14425-3:2010EN 14425-3:2010 (E) 6 6.2.3 The test piece surfaces shall be ground to a good quality finish using final grinding with a peripheral wheel of grit size between 320 and 500 mesh grit, using a depth o

36、f cut of no more than 0,002 mm for the last 0,04 mm of material removed from each surface. No edge treatment is necessary. NOTE Although a large notch is placed in the test piece, the quality of grinding remains important for dimensional accuracy for registration in cutting the notch and for minimiz

37、ing residual stresses. 6.3 Sawn notch 6.3.1 The notch is produced by two saw cuts at an appropriate angle to each other as shown in Figure 1. The notch width shall be less than 0,20 mm at the surface, and the notch root radius should be less than 0,1 mm. The grit size of the saw or grinding wheel em

38、ployed shall be 320 mesh or smaller. For standard test pieces, the test piece shall be orientated such that the notch tip is opposite the 3 mm width face. The notch geometry may be selected to suit requirements. However, it is recommended that: a) the angles of the two sides of the notch to the test

39、 piece faces are equal to within 1, and the notch tip is central within the test piece to within 0,05 B where B is the test piece width; b) the position of the notch tip, a0, below the test piece surface is about 20 % of the depth of the test piece, W; c) the positions of run-out of the notch throug

40、h the test piece sides, a11, a12are closely similar, and are in the range 90 % to 100 % of the test piece depth, W. NOTE 1 The use of a surface grinder or precision slicing saw permits straight-tipped cuts to be made. The use of a non-traversing saw, or a wire saw, is not recommended because the lin

41、e of the notch tip produced is not straight. This can introduce a considerable error in the use of the calibration equations. NOTE 2 The reproducibility and quality of machining of the notch can influence the reproducibility of the test result. In general, narrower and more precise cutting encourage

42、s more reproducible initial stable crack growth and reduces the scatter in results. 6.3.2 A simple method of obtaining the required precision of cutting is to prepare a V-block with an end stop against which the test piece can be registered. The test piece is clamped on one side to permit the first

43、cut, and is then rotated and clamped on the other side to allow the second cut of equal depth to be coplanar with the first. The angle of the V-block is the same as that required for the notch angle. 6.3.3 A minimum of five test pieces shall be prepared. 7 Procedure 7.1 Measure the external dimensio

44、ns of the test piece at the notch to the nearest 0,002 mm using the micrometer (5.3). 7.2 Measure the notch lengths a11and a12(to the points where the roots of the notch meet the external surfaces) to the nearest 0,002 mm using the calibrated device (5.4). The difference between the average value a1

45、and the individual values shall not be greater than 0,05 W, where W is the test piece thickness. 7.3 Adjust the sensitivity of the load recording device to permit an accuracy of subsequent measurement to better than 1 % of recorded values. Adjust the recording and plotting parameters of the recordin

46、g device to permit clear identification of the load/time or load/displacement behaviour (see Figure 2). 7.4 Insert the test piece in the strength test apparatus with the tip of the chevron notch facing the outer support rollers, and align it carefully to ensure that the support and loading spans are

47、 centralised to within 0,2 mm in accordance with EN 843-1:2006. 7.5 Select for the test machine displacement rate a value which achieves fracture in typically 2 min to 5 min. BS EN 14425-3:2010EN 14425-3:2010 (E) 7 NOTE Typically this requires a machine displacement rate of about 0,05 mm/min or slow

48、er. If the fracture force range is known, it is possible to use a faster rate up to about 75 % of the fracture force, before switching to the slower rate. 7.6 Measure and record the relative humidity and temperature of the atmosphere in the proximity of the test. 7.7 Load the test piece in the flexu

49、ral test apparatus and record the load/displacement curve produced as the test piece fractures. 7.8 Inspect the trace (see Figure 2). If the fracture exhibited stable characteristics with the load rising to a smooth maximum and then falling (Figure 2a), or if the crack popped-in prior to the load passing through a smooth maximum (Figure 2b), the test can be deemed to be valid. Determine the maximum test force, Pmax. If the load reached a sharp maximum from which it fell suddenly towards zero without a s
