6、-ing3. Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe definitions of terms relating to sheartesting in Terminology E6are applicable to the terms used inthis test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of subjecting a full thicknessor machined rectangular test specimen to single shear force tof
7、ailure in a test fixture using a tension testing machine. Theshear strength is calculated from the maximum force requiredto fracture the specimen.5. Significance and Use5.1 The intent of this test method is to provide a means ofmeasuring the ultimate shear strength of thin aluminum alloywrought and
8、cast products. Data obtained by this test methodare used to calculate minimum properties that can be utilized inthe design of structural members such as found in aircraft. It isrecognized that the loading conditions developed by this testmethod, and by most others, are not ideal in that they do nots
9、trictly satisfy the definitions of pure shear. However, rarely dopure shear conditions exist in structures.NOTE 1This test method is not interchangeable with that described inMethods B 565 and B 769. Shear strengths obtained by this test methodhave been shown to vary from those developed by the othe
10、r methods.36. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachinesThe testing machines shall conformto the requirements of Practice E4. The maximum force usedto determine the shear strength shall be within the verifiedforce range of the testing machine as defined in Practice E4.6.2 Loading Device:6.2.1 The device for appl
11、ying force to the specimen fromthe testing machine shall be a clevis of the type shown in Fig.1 and shall be made of a hardened steel.7. Test Specimens7.1 The specimen size shall be 112 in. (38.1 mm) wide by412 in. (114 mm) long. The specimen geometry is shown inFig. 2. The specimen thickness shall
12、be the full productthickness for a product thickness of 0.250 in. (6.35 mm) or less.For a product thickness greater then 0.250 in. (6.35 mm), thespecimen shall be machined to a thickness of 0.250 in. (6.35mm) by machining equal amounts from each side of theproduct. . The minimum specimen thickness t
13、hat can bereasonably tested will be dictated by the materials ability toresist buckling around the pin hole area during testing.7.2 The test area to be sheared shall be centered within0.001 in. (0.025 mm) of the load line of the specimen.7.3 Measurement of the thickness and length of the area tobe s

Fordimensions 0.200 in. (5.1 mm) and over, measu
18、re to the nearest0.001 in. (0.025 mm). For dimensions less than 0.200 in. (5.1mm) and not less than 0.100 in. (2.5 mm), measure to thenearest 0.0005 in. (0.013 mm). For dimensions less than 0.100in. (2.5 mm), measure to the nearest 0.0001 in. (0.0025 mm).NOTE 2Caution: Measurements of dimensions pre
19、sume smooth sur-face finishes for the specimens. Rough surfaces due to the manufacturingprocess such as hot rolling, metallic coating, etc., may lead to inaccuracyof the computed areas greater than the measured dimensions wouldindicate. Therefore, cross sectional dimensions of shear test specimenswi
20、th rough surfaces due to processing may be measured and recorded tothe nearest 0.001 in. (0.025 mm).7.4 All machined surfaces in the test area shall have asurface finish of 32 in. (0.80 m) Raor better.8. Precision Orientation and Direction8.1 The shear strength of wrought aluminum materialsusually d
21、epends on the specimen orientation and the directionin which the load is applied relative to the grain flow in thespecimen.3The specimen orientation and the loading directionshould be identified by the following systems.8.1.1 The reference directions for rectangular shapes areindicated in Fig. 3. Th
22、ese are suitable for sheet, plate, extru-sions, forgings, and other shapes of nonsymmetrical grain flow.8.2 The two-letter code is used in Fig. 3 to describe thespecimen orientations and loading directions. The first letterdesignates the normal to the expected shear plane. The secondletter designate
23、s the direction of force application. The mostcommonly used specimen orientations and loading directionsare T-L and L-T for thin products. This orientation code isidentical to that used for cylindrical shear specimens in TestMethod B 769.NOTE 3These orientation codes have a different interpretation
24、thanthose used for fracture specimens, where the first letter indicated thedirection of force application.NOTE 4Typically, cast aluminum products do not exhibit the direc-tionality of wrought products; therefore, the orientation codes are notapplicable to castings.9. Procedure9.1 Measurement of Spec
25、imensMeasure the applicabledimensions designated in 7.3 and calculate the cross-sectionalarea by multiplying the two dimensions.9.2 TestingMount the specimen in the test fixture asshown in Fig. 1. The specimen should not be restrained byclamping of the load pin area during the test.9.2.1 When assemb
26、ling the loading train (clevises and theirattachments to the testing machine), take care to minimizeeccentricity of loading due to misalignments external to theclevises. To obtain satisfactory alignment, keep the centerlineof the upper and lower loading rods coincident within 0.03 in.(0.76 mm) durin
