Terminology3.1 The definitions of terms relating to shear testing inT
6、erminology E6are applicable to the terms used in this testmethod.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of subjecting a machinedcylindrical test specimen to double-shear loading in a testfixture using a tension (or compression) testing machine todetermine the shear stress required to
7、 fracture the specimen,that is, the shear strength.5. Significance and Use5.1 The intent of this method is to provide a means ofmeasuring the ultimate shear strength of aluminum-alloywrought and cast products. Data obtained by this method areused to calculate minimum properties that can be utilized
8、in thedesign of structural members such as found in aircraft. It isrecognized that loading conditions developed by this method,and by most others, are not ideal in that they do not strictlysatisfy the definition of pure shear. However, rarely do pureshear conditions exist in structures.NOTE 2This me
9、thod is not interchangeable with that described in TestMethod B 565. Shear strengths obtained by Test Method B 565 are about10 % lower than those developed by this test method.5.2 The presence of a lubricant on the surface of thespecimen and fixture may result in shear strengths up to 3 %lower than
10、those determined in the absence of lubrication (see8.1 and Test Method B 565).6. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachinesThe testing machines shall conformto the requirements of Practices E4. The loads used todetermine the shear strength shall be within the loading rangeof the testing machine as defined in Pra
11、ctices E4.6.2 Loading Device:6.2.1 The loading device shall be a double-shear test fixtureof the type shown in Fig. 1. The fixture shall be made of toolsteel having a Rockwell hardness from 60 to 62 HRC. Asuitable alternative is to use a lower-strength steel for the mainframe of the fixture and have
12、 only the steel inserts hardenedfrom 60 to 62 HRC.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B07 on LightMetals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee B07.05 onTesting.Current edition approved June 1, 2007.

14、Changes section appears at the end of this standard.Copyright ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, PO Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, United States.6.2.2 The shearing edges of the holes shall have a radius ofno more than 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm). The mating surfaces ofthe center and o
15、utside dies shall have a finish of 16 in. (0.4m) Raor less. There shall be sufficient clearances between thedie interfaces to ensure that no binding occurs; clearanceshould not exceed 0.002 in. (0.051 mm). Consequently, therigidity of the test fixture must be such that this clearance ismaintained th
16、roughout the test; in instances where the device isloaded in compression as in Fig. 1, care must be taken to ensurethere is no binding between the dies at the interfaces during thetest.6.2.3 The nominal length of the center and outside dies ofthe tool shown in Fig. 1 is 1 in. (25.4 mm). It has beend
17、emonstrated that die lengths of 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) for38-in.(9.52 mm) diameter specimens give test results comparable todies 1 in. in length.3The initial minimum length of any one dieshall be 0.5 in. (12.7 mm) for specimens up through 0.375 in.(9.52 mm) in diameter. The minimum die lengths for speci-
18、mens greater than 0.375 in. in diameter should be kept in aboutthe same proportion as that of the 0.375-in. diameter specimen;that is, die length/specimen diameter equal to43 .As a result ofsharpening, dies shall be replaced when lengths are less than95 % of the original lengths.NOTE 3The specimen s
19、hould not be restrained by clamping circum-ferentially or end loading during the test.7. Test Specimens7.1 The minimum length of the cylindrical specimens shallbe equal to the combined lengths of the three dies in accor-dance with 6.2.3.7.2 The minimum specimen size shall be316 in. (4.76 mm)in diame
20、ter. The 0.375-in. (9.52-mm) diameter specimen is acommonly used size, but up to 0.500-in. (12.7-mm) diameterspecimens have been used.7.3 Measurements of the specimen diameter shall be madeto the nearest 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm). Measurements are to bemade at the two shear planes; the average of the tw
21、o diameterswill be used to calculate the specimen cross-sectional area.7.4 The maximum clearance between the specimen diam-eter and the test-hole diameter shall not exceed 0.0015 in.(0.038 mm).7.5 The finish shall be 32 in. (0.8 m) Raor less.8. Specimen Orientation and Direction8.1 The shear strengt
22、h of an aluminum material usuallydepends on the specimen orientation and the direction in whichthe load is applied relative to the grain flow in the specimen.3The specimen orientation and the loading direction should beidentified by the following systems:8.1.1 The reference directions for rectangula
23、r shapes areindicated in Fig. 2; these are suitable for plate, extrusions,forgings and other shapes of nonsymmetrical grain flow.8.1.2 The reference directions for certain cylindrical shapeswhere the longitudinal axis is the predominate grain flow areindicated in Fig. 3. The terminology in Fig. 3 is
24、 applicable torolled, drawn, extruded or forged round rod.3Davies, R. E., and Kaufman, J. G., “Effects of Test Method and SpecimenOrientation on Shear Strengths of Aluminum Alloys,” Proceedings, ASTM, Vol 64,1964.FIG. 1 Three Views of an Amsler Shear ToolB7690728.2 The two-letter code is used in Fig
25、. 2 and Fig. 3 todescribe the specimen orientations and loading directions. Thefirst letter designates the grain orientation normal to the shearplane. The second letter designates the direction of loading.The most commonly used specimen orientations and loadingdirections are L-S, T-S and S-L for sha
26、pes in 8.1.1 and L-R, C-Rand R-L for cylindrical shapes in 8.1.2.8.3 Some type of mark, such as a scribed line shown in Fig.2 and Fig. 3, is necessary to indicate the orientation of thespecimen relative to a reference surface of the material.9. Procedure9.1 Clean the specimen and dies with a suitabl
27、e solvent suchas acetone for removal of lubrication.9.2 Place the specimen in a test fixture of the type shown inFig. 1.9.3 The cross-head speed of the testing machine shall notexceed 0.75 in./min (19.1 mm/min) and the loading rate shallnot exceed 100 ksi/min (689 MPa/min) on the double-shearcross s
28、ection. Loading rate to failure should be uniform.9.4 Determine the maximum load to fracture the specimen.9.5 The mating surfaces of the shear dies should be visuallyinspected before use for aluminum buildup around the testholes. Removal of the aluminum can be accomplished withcrocus cloth or soakin
