1、Designation: B528 10 B528 12Standard Test Method forTransverse Rupture Strength of Powder Metallurgy (PM)Specimens1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B528; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year o
2、f last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This test method covers determination of the transverse rupture strength of sintered, including post-treated, powde
3、rmetallurgy test specimens by subjecting them to a uniformly increasing transverse force under controlled conditions. The term“transverse rupture strength” as used herein, defines the stress, calculated from the flexure formula required to break a specimenas a simple beam supported near the ends and
4、 applying the force midway between the fixed line center of the supports.1.2 Limitations The transverse rupture test is only applicable to relatively brittle materials. In cases where a ductile specimenis being tested and the permanent deflection as a result of testing exceeds 0.020 in. (0.50 mm), t
5、he test results may be questionable.1.3 Test Method B406 should be consulted for determining the transverse rupture strength of cemented carbides.1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are

Test Specimen6.1 The thin test specimen shall have the shape and dimensions shown in the figure titled PM Transverse Rupture Strength TestSpecimen of Practices B925.7. Procedure7.1 Prepare test specimens by pressing
16、and sintering using tooling shown in the figure titled Transverse Rupture Test Specimen,Typical Laboratory Tooling of Practices B925, or machine from finished parts. Measure the width and thickness of the specimensto the nearest 0.001 in. (0.02 mm) with a micrometer.7.2 Locate the specimen in the tr
17、ansverse rupture test fixture perpendicular to the supporting rods. Apply compressive forceparallel to the pressing direction of the specimen at a no-load crosshead speed of not greater than 0.2 in. (5.0 mm)/min until ruptureoccurs. Record the load at which the specimen breaks (force required to rup

(1)where:TRS = transverse rupture strength of the specimen, psi (MPa),P = force required to rupture the specimen, lbf (N),L = the distance between the centers of the supportin
19、g rods, 1.000 in. (25.4 mm),w = width of the specimen, in. (mm), andNOTE 1This fixture is used in Test Method B312.FIG. 1 Transverse Rupture Test FixtureB528 122t = thickness of specimen, in. (mm).9. Report9.1 Report the transverse rupture strength in pounds-force per square inch (megapascals) to th
20、e nearest 1000 psi (10 MPa).When reporting the results, state the following supplementary data to clarify the results:9.1.1 Identification of the material being tested, that is, composition, density, state of heat treatment, and compacted or machinedspecimen.10. Precision and Bias310.1 The repeatabi
21、lity (r) and reproducibility (R) measurements were determined (1995) according to Practice E691 and arelisted in Table 1 for six materials and a range of transverse rupture strength values. On the basis of test error alone, the differencein absolute value of two test results obtained in the same lab
22、oratory will be expected to exceed (r) only 5 % of the time. If sucha difference is found to be larger than (r), there is reason to question one or both results. Similarly, the difference in two test resultsobtained in different laboratories will be expected to exceed (R) only 5 % of the time. If th
23、e difference is found to be larger than(R), there is reason to question one or both measurements.10.2 BiasNo information can be presented on the bias of the test procedure in Test Method B528 for measuring TransverseRupture Strength because no material having an accepted reference value is available
24、.10.3 Measurement Uncertainty The precision of Test Method B528 shall be considered by those performing the test whenreporting Transverse Rupture Strength results.11.
