1、Designation: B 528 05Standard Test Method forTransverse Rupture Strength of Metal Powder Specimens1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 528; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision
2、. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers determination of the transverserupture strength of sintered, including post-treated, metalpowder test spe
3、cimens by subjecting them to a uniformlyincreasing transverse force under controlled conditions. Theterm “transverse rupture strength” as used herein, defines thestress, calculated from the flexure formula required to break aspecimen as a simple beam supported near the ends andapplying the force mid
4、way between the fixed line center of thesupports.1.2 Limitations The transverse rupture test is only appli-cable to relatively brittle materials. In cases where a ductilespecimen is being tested and the permanent deflection as aresult of testing exceeds 0.020 in. (0.50 mm), the test resultsmay be qu
5、estionable.1.3 Test Method B 406 should be consulted for determiningthe transverse rupture strength of cemented carbides.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The SI values are provided for informationonly.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of th
6、esafety 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 applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Apply compressive forceparallel to the pressing direction of the specimen at a no-loadcrosshead speed of not greater than 0.2 in. (5.0 mm)/min
15、 untilrupture occurs. Record this breaking force to the nearest 10 lbf(50 N).8. Calculation8.1 Calculate the transverse rupture strength of the speci-men as follows:TRS 5 3 3 P 3 L! / 2 3 t23 w!

16、ecimen, lbf (N),L = length of specimen span relative to fixture 1.000 in.(25.4 mm),w = width of the specimen, in. (mm), andt = thickness of specimen, in. (mm).9. Report9.1 Report the transverse rupture strength in pounds-forceper square inch (megapascals) to the nearest 1000 psi (10MPa). When report
17、ing the results, state the following supple-mentary data to clarify the results:9.1.1 Identification of the material being tested, that is,composition, density, state of heat treatment, and compacted ormachined specimen.10. Precision10.1 On the basis of test error alone, the difference in theabsolut
18、e value of two test results, x1and x2. obtained in thesame laboratory on the same material, will be expected toexceed r, (the repeatability interval) only about 5 % of thetime. If such a difference is found to be larger than r there isreason to question one or both results. The value of r variesprop
19、ortionally with the magnitude of the transverse rupturestrength and is calculated from the following equation:r 5 6700 1 0.064! x 41000! (2)NOTEThis fixture is used in Test Method B 312.FIG. 1 Transverse Rupture Test FixtureB528052where the units of r and x are psi. This applies over the rangefrom x

The unit x is the averageof the two points being checked.x11 x225 x (3)10.2 On the basis of test error alone, the difference inabsolute value of two test results, x1and x2, obtained indifferent laboratories on the same material, will be expected toexceed R, the reproduci
