Mechanical properties are valid in

20、 the longitudinal direction. Certification of ongoing production material shall be in accordance with regional and/or local requirements. Yield Strength is defined as lower yield stress or 0.2% proof stress (for materials without marked yield point). For the determination of mechanical properties, t

21、he material cross sectional area shall be defined as that of the steel substrate only; contribution of any metallic and/or organic coating to the cross-sectional area used for stress calculation is neglected. (i.e. Zn, e-coat and/or paint are not included). This method of determining the cross secti

22、onal area of the test bar will be used as the referee method in all cases where the mechanical properties of the incoming material are in dispute. Note: UTS max values for Table 1-4 grades are not required attributes from the steel supplier but can be used as representative values for calculations t

23、hat require a max value. ASTM Total Elongation is measured with an ASTM (50 mm) test bar (ASTM E 8M). EN Total Elongation is measured with an ISO II (80 mm) test bar (ISO 6892-1). JIS Total Elongation is measured with a JIS #5 test bar (JIS Z 2241). Plastic Strain Ratio (r-value) is defined for a sp

24、ecific test direction with respect to the rolling direction. It is measured at 20% total elongation (or maximum uniform elongation if less than 20%). See ASTM E 517, ISO 10113, or JIS Z 2254. Average Plastic Strain Ratio (ravg) is calculated as a weighted average of the individual r-values, i.e., (

25、0o + 90o + 2 x 45o ) / 4 For grades with ravg requirements, data is collected for initial source approval. Ongoing certification to ravg requirements is not required for all coils. However, disputes will be settled using longitudinal, transverse and diagonal test bars sampled from the suspect materi

26、al. Strain Hardening Exponent (n-value) is measured over the range 10-20% strain (or 10% to end of uniform elongation if less than 20%). See ASTM E646 or ISO 10275. If uniform elongation is less than 12%, n-value shall be reported as nUE = UE (n at uniform elongation equals true strain at uniform el

27、ongation.) Required n-value measurements are only valid for material thicknesses up to 6.4 mm. For gauges over 6.4 mm n-values are not required. BHI (Bake Hardening Index) is defined as the increase in lower yield strength due exclusively to the baking portion of the following: Strain 2% in the long

28、itudinal direction, note stress and release load. Bake at 170 (+/- 2) deg C peak metal temperature for 20 (+/- 1) minutes. Determine post-bake yield strength per ASTM E 8M, ISO 6892-1, EN 10325, or JIS Z 2241. BHI is the difference between the pre-bake stress at 2% strain and the post-bake yield str

29、ength. BHI neglects the contribution of work hardening to yield strength and includes only the contribution due to thermal response. Actual processing conditions (temperature profiles and strain conditions) dictate the observed strength levels of individual parts. ENGINEERING MATERIAL SPECIFICATION
