6、erification of Testing MachinesE6 Terminology Relating to Methods of Mechanical Testing3. Terminology3.1 DefinitionsThe definitions of terms relating to sheartesting in Terminology E6 are applicable to the terms used inthis test method.4. Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method consists of subjec
7、ting a full thicknessor machined rectangular test specimen to single shear force tofailure 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 provid
8、e a means ofmeasuring the ultimate shear strength of thin aluminum alloywrought and cast products. It is recognized that the loadingconditions developed by this test method, and by most others,are not ideal in that they do not strictly satisfy the definitionsof pure shear. However, rarely do pure sh
9、ear conditions exist instructures.NOTE 1Results from this test method are not interchangeable withresults from Test Methods B565 and B769. Shear strengths obtained bythis test method have been shown to differ from values determined withother methods.36. Apparatus6.1 Testing MachinesThe testing machi
10、nes shall conformto the requirements of Practice E4. The maximum force used todetermine the shear strength shall be within the verified forcerange of the testing machine as defined in Practice E4.6.2 Loading Device:6.2.1 The device for applying force to the specimen fromthe testing machine shall be
11、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 1.5 in. (38.1 mm) wide by4.5 in. (114 mm) long. The specimen geometry is shown in Fig.2. The specimen thickness shall be the full product thicknessfor a product thickness of 0.25
12、0 in. (6.35 mm) or less. For aproduct thickness greater than 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 that can be reason-ably tested will be dictated by the material
13、s ability to resistbuckling 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.1This test method is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B07 on LightMetals and Alloys s and is the direct responsibi

Measurements shall be made as follows:7.3.1
17、 Measurement of the specimen thickness shall be madeat a location between the two slots machined into the specimen.Measurement of the length of the shear area shall be betweenthe ends of the slots machined into the specimen, Fig. 2. Fordimensions 0.200 in. (5.1 mm) and over, measure to the nearest0.
18、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).7.4 All machined surfaces in the test area shall have asurface f
19、inish of 32 in. (0.80 m) Raor less.8. Specimen Orientation and Direction8.1 The shear strength of wrought aluminum materialsusually depends 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 di
20、rectionshould be identified by the following systems.8.1.1 The reference directions for rectangular shapes areindicated in Fig. 3. These are suitable for sheet, plate, extru-sions, forgings, and other shapes having nonsymmetrical grainflow.8.2 The two-letter code is used in Fig. 3 to describe thespe
21、cimen orientations and loading directions. The first letterdesignates the normal to the expected shear plane. The secondletter designates the direction of force application or expectedfracture direction. The most commonly used specimen orien-tations and loading directions are T-L and L-T for in-plan
22、eshear strength of thin products. This orientation code isidentical to that used for cylindrical shear specimens in TestMethod B769.NOTE 2These orientation codes are analagous to those used forfracture specimens if the first letter is interpreted as the normal to thefracture plane and the second let
23、ter is the direction of fracture.NOTE 3Typically, 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 SpecimensMeasure the applicabledimensions designated in 7.3 and calculate the
24、 cross-sectionalarea by multiplying the two dimensions (A = t L).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 assembling the loading train (clevises and theirattachments to the te
25、sting 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) during the test.9.2.2 The cross head speed of the testing machine sh
26、all notexceed 0.75 in./min (19.1 mm/min) and the shear stress rateshall not exceed 100 ksi/min (689 MPa/min) on the cross-section. The machine crosshead speed setting should not beadjusted during the test.9.2.3 Determine the maximum force Pmaxto fracture thespecimen.10. Calculation10.1 Calculate the
27、 shear strength from the maximum forceas follows:S 5PmaxA(1)where:S = shear strength, psi (MPa),Pmax= maximum force, lbf (N), andA = cross-sectional area (thickness t times distancebetween slots, L), in.2(mm2).11.
