1、Designation: A 34/A 34M 06Standard Practice forSampling and Procurement Testing of Magnetic Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 34/A 34M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last
2、revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This practice covers sampling procedures and test prac-tices for determination of various magnetic properties of bothsoft
3、and hard magnetic materials.1.2 This practice may be used either in conjunction with, orindependent of, the standard test methods and materials speci-fications under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A06. Inthe former situation, the sampling and testing procedures listedherein shall not supersede t
4、hose found in the individual testmethods and materials specifications. In the latter situation, thesampling and testing procedures listed herein shall strictlyapply.1.3 The values and equations stated in customary (cgs-emuand inch-pound) or SI units are to be regarded separately asstandard. Within t
5、his standard, SI units are shown in bracketsexcept for the sections concerning calculations where there areseparate sections for the respective unit systems. The valuesstated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore,each system shall be used independently of the other. Combin-ing value
6、s from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith this standard.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the
7、 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A 340 Terminology of Symbols and Definitions Relating toMagnetic Testing3.

8、 340.4. Significance and Use4.1 This practice defines test lots and describes the selectionand preparation of test specimens used in the determination ofmagnetic properties of various materials.4.2 A method of calculating the density of iron-base elec-trical steels is given and a table of assumed de
9、nsities formagnetic testing of commercial soft magnetic alloys is pro-vided.5. Test Lots5.1 Wrought, Flat-Rolled, or Long Products:5.1.1 Atest lot of wrought, flat-rolled, or long products shallconsist of not more than 50 000 lb 23 000 kg of material.5.1.2 A test lot may be composed of coils or cut

16、t in coil form consists of several coilshaving essentially the same treatment and composition, teststrips shall be prepared from test sheets cut from one or bothends of enough master coils to be representative of the lot.6.2 Electrical Steel Cut Lengths:6.2.1 When cut lengths are sheared from coil m
17、aterialwithout subsequent treatments (such as roller leveling or coldrolling), the test on the original coil shall suffice.6.2.2 Two or more test sheets shall be taken from the samelot of cut length steel that has been cold rolled or leveled. Thesetest sheets shall not lie adjacent to each other, bu
18、t shall beselected in a manner to assure representative sampling.6.3 Wrought Products Other Than Electrical Steels:6.3.1 Sampling shall be one sample per each heat applied tothe order unless otherwise specified in the appropriate ASTMspecification or by mutual agreement between the producer andpurch

21、or by mutual agreement between the producer andpurchaser.7. Test Specimens7.1 The test specimens used for the determination of prop-erties of magnetic materials will vary in form, depending uponthe test equipment and the dimensions of the material to betested. Prepare the test specimens in a manner
22、to adequatelyrepresent the areas being sampled. Standard forms include flatstrips, rings, bars, and links in accordance with the followingpractices.7.1.1 Flat Strips:7.1.1.1 Except when otherwise established by mutual agree-ment between the producer and the purchaser, the Epstein testspecimen shall
23、be the standard specimen for determination ofthe magnetic properties of flat-rolled electrical steels.7.1.1.2 Standard Epstein test specimens shall be composedof test strips preferably cut from test sheets in a manner shownin Fig. 1 (a) or (b). One half of the strips are cut parallel to andthe other
24、 half cut perpendicular to the direction of rolling.7.1.1.3 If the width of the material does not permit cuttingof strips perpendicular to the rolling direction, or, if thematerial has preferred properties in any one direction withrespect to the direction of rolling, or, if the material is to beused
25、 with the flux in any one direction, all of the strips may becut in a specified direction which shall be agreed upon by theproducer and the purchaser. All lengthwise strips may beselected as shown in Fig. 1 (c).7.1.1.4 When fewer than the total number of strips obtainedfrom the sampled area are need
26、ed for the test specimen, theexcess strips should be discarded equally from all locations inthe sampled area. For instance, if approximately14 of the totalstrips obtained is excess, every fourth strip should be dis-carded.7.1.1.5 The Epstein test specimen shall consist of stripssheared or punched in
27、 a width of 3.00 cm 30.0 mm and notless than 28.0 cm 280 mm long. If for ease of assembling thespecimen in the test frame, it is desired to use strips slightlylonger than 28.0 cm 280 mm, a length of 30.5 cm 305 mmis recommended.7.1.1.6 Test strips shall be nearly rectangular as possible andshall con
28、form to the specified dimensions within 60.08 cm0.8 mm.7.1.1.7 Test strips shall be cut with sharp shears or dies toavoid excessive burring or distortion.7.1.1.8 Reports of test shall state specifically the manner inwhich the test strips were cut if other than one half parallel andthe other half per
29、pendicular to the direction of rolling.7.1.2 Rings:FIG. 1 Suggested Distribution of Strips To Be Cut from Sheets for Magnetic TestsA 34/A 34M 0627.1.2.1 Ring specimen may be punched, laser cut, spirallywound, forged, machined, sintered, or cast. The specimensshall be of uniform radial width and cros

Theyshall be continuous, having no joints or welds except wherespecified or established by mutual agreement.7.1.2.2 The ratio of mean diameter to radial width shall notbe less than 10:1.7.1.2.3 Sharp dies or shears shall be used in the preparationof ring specimens of flat-rolled sh
31、eet material.7.1.2.4 If the radial width of punched rings is less than3.0 cm 30 mm, work-hardened portions shall be removedbefore testing by a heat treatment practice acceptable to boththe producer and the purchaser. Spirally wound cores must alsobe heat treated before testing.7.1.3 Bars:7.1.3.1 Bar
32、 or rod specimens may be rolled, forged, ma-chined, or cast. They shall be straight and of uniform crosssection and of sufficient size to meet the requirements of thetesting equipment used.7.1.4 Links:7.1.4.1 Link specimens have the shape of a ring, flattened toform semicircular ends and straight, p
33、arallel sides. The semi-circular parts of a link shall have a ratio of mean diameter toradial width not less than 10:1.8. Uniformity of Test Specimens8.1 The cross section of the test specimens shall be asuniform along the magnetic path length as commercial practicepermits.Any deviation from uniform
34、ity shall be as agreed uponbetween the producer and purchaser. Specimens shall beprepared and heat treated without warping. Cast specimensshall be machined or ground to a cross section uniform within1 % unless otherwise agreed upon between the producer andthe purchaser.9. Cross-Sectional Area of Tes
35、t Specimens9.1 Density MethodThe cross-sectional area shall be cal-culated from measurements of weight and length using adensity value in accordance with Section 10. This method shallbe used for the following specimen types:9.1.1 Epstein strips.9.1.2 Laminated stacks of rings or other shapes.9.1.3 S
36、pirally wound strip, tape, and wire cores.9.1.4 Shaped bar and wire of a cross section not accuratelymeasurable with a micrometer or calipers.9.2 Direct MeasurementThe cross-sectional area shall becalculated from direct measurements using a micrometer orcaliper.
