Scope*1.1 This practice establishes procedures for preparing testcoupons and specimens (machined and unmachined) for ten-sion tests of copper alloys for sand, permanent mold, centrifu-gal and continuous castings.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standa

Terminology3.1 Definitions of terms relating to copper alloys can befound in Terminology B 846.4. Significance and Use4.1 The mechanical properties d
5、etermined from test bars forsand, permanent mold, and centrifugal castings poured inaccordance with this practice represent the properties of themetal going into castings poured from the same heat. Thesemechanical properties may not be the same as the properties ofthe corresponding castings because
6、of the solidification effectsof varying size, section, and design.4.2 Test bars for continuous castings are taken from thecastings and therefore represent the properties of the castings.5. Test Coupons5.1 Sand CastingsThe test bar coupons shall be made bythe same manufacturing process as the casting
7、s they representwherever possible. If the castings are cast entirely in greensand, partial cores shall be permitted for the test bars but in nocase shall chills be permitted. Unless otherwise agreed uponbetween the manufacturer and purchaser, test bars may bepoured in cores on a production line. The
8、 use of filters in thegating system is permitted.5.1.1 High-Shrinkage Sand-Cast AlloysThe test specimencoupons for copper casting alloys exhibiting high shrinkageduring freezing and cooling shall be cast to the form anddimensions shown in Fig. 1 (a or b) or 2 (a or b). If specimenshaving threaded en
9、ds are to be used in the tension tests, thelength of the keel blocks in Fig. 1a may be reduced to 614 in.(159 mm). See Appendix X1 for SI equivalents.5.1.2 Low-Shrinkage Sand-Cast AlloysThe test specimencoupons for copper casting alloys exhibiting low shrinkageduring freezing and cooling shall be ca
10、st to the form anddimensions shown in Fig. 2 (Aor B), Fig. 3,orFig. 4 or as maybe prescribed in the casting specifications.5.2 Centrifugal CastingsUnless otherwise specified bythe purchaser, the manufacturer shall pour the test bars in thesame type of mold as the castings themselves. That is, test b
11、arsfor sand mold castings shall be poured in sand molds, and testbars for chill mold castings shall be poured in chill molds.5.2.1 The centrifugally cast test specimen coupons shall becast to the form and dimensions of Fig. 5a.5.2.2 Static test bar coupons shall be cast in open keel blockmolds as di
12、mensioned in Fig. 5b.5.3 Continuous CastingsTest bars shall be taken from thecontinuous cast product. Test bars may be taken beforemechanical straightening.5.3.1 Test bar coupons shall be taken in a longitudinaldirection from the continuous cast product at the mid-wall ofhollow castings or at one-ha
13、lf the distance between the centerand the side of solid castings as illustrated in Fig. 6.5.3.2 For irregular shapes, the location of the test barcoupon shall be as agreed upon between the manufacturer andpurchaser.5.3.3 Transverse test specimens are allowed for continuouscast product having a cross
14、 section thickness, diameter, or wallof 4 in. or more. The cross sections are the diameter of a roundsolid, the distance across flats of a solid hexagon, the thicknessof a rectangle, and the wall thickness of a tube.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B05 on Copper andCopper A

29、, the length of the reduced section may be increased to accommodate an extensometer of any convenient gage length. Referencemarks for the measurement of elongation should, nevertheless, be spaced at the indicated gage length.NOTE 3The gage length and fillets may be as shown, but the ends may be of a
30、ny form to fit the holders of the testing machine in such a way thatthe load shall be axial (see Figs. 8 and 10). If the ends are to be held in wedge grips it is desirable, if possible, to make the length of the grip sectiongreat enough to allow the specimen to extend into the grips a distance equal
31、 to two thirds or more of the length of the grips.NOTE 4On the round specimens in Fig. 11 and Figs. 8 and 10, the gage lengths are equal to four times the nominal diameter. In some productspecifications other specimens may be provided for, but unless the 4-to-1 ratio is maintained within dimensional
32、 tolerances, the elongation values maynot be comparable with those obtained from the standard test specimen.NOTE 5The use of specimens smaller than 0.250-in. diameter shall be restricted to cases when the material to be tested is of insufficient size to obtainlarger specimens or when all parties agr
33、ee to their use for acceptance testing. Similar specimens require suitable equipment and greater skill in bothmachining and testing.NOTE 6Five sizes of specimens often used have diameters of approximately 0.505, 0.357, 0.252, 0.160, and 0.113 in., the reason being to permit easycalculations of stres
34、s from loads, since the corresponding cross-sectional areas are equal or close to 0.200, 0.100, 0.0500, 0.0200, and 0.0100 in.2,respectively. Thus, when the actual diameters agree with these values, the stresses (or strengths) may be computed using the simple multiplying factors5, 10, 20, 50, and 10
35、0, respectively. (The metric equivalents of these five diameters do not result in correspondingly convenient cross-sectional areas andmultiplying factors.)FIG. 11 Standard 0.500-in.
