(16 mm)deep at room temperature.BData not available on Alloy Numbers 11 and 13.CThe specific gravity multiplied by 0.0361 equals the density in pounds per cubic inch.DThe values for yield point were taken from stress-strai
37、n curves at a deformation of 0.125 % of gage length.EJohnsons apparent elastic limit is taken as the unit stress at the point where the slope of the tangent to the curve is23 times its slope at the origin.FThe ultimate strength values were taken as the unit load necessary to produce a deformation of
38、 25 % of the length of the specimen.GThese values are the average Brinell number of three impressions on each alloy using a 10-mm ball and a 500-kg load applied for 30 s.B23 00 (2010)3ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any it
