1、Designation: C 774 88 (Reapproved 2006)Standard Test Method forYield Strength of Enameling Steels After Straining andFiring1This standard is issued under the fixed designation C 774; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision,
2、the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers determination of the yieldstrength of steel specimens after simulated forming and
3、 enamelfiring operations.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard. The values given in parentheses are forinformation only.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user
4、of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

Summary of Test Method4.1 Representative sheet-steel specimens are selected,strained in tension to simulate
6、forming, heat treated to simulateenamel firing, and tension tested for determination of yieldstrength.5. Significance and Use5.1 In the manufacture of porcelain enameled ware, sheetsteel is subjected to forming operations and subsequently tofiring of the enamel at temperatures, typically, of 1400 to
7、1550F (760 to 844C). Some steels used for porcelainenameling are subject to grain growth in critically strainedareas resulting in loss of strength.5.2 This may lead to easy deformation of the steel anddamage to the porcelain enamel coating.5.3 This test method may be correlated with transit or usete
8、sts to evaluate the suitability of steel for porcelain enameledware.6. Apparatus6.1 Shear for cutting blanks.6.2 Equipment for cutting or machining tension specimens.6.3 Gage, 2-in. (50.8-mm), for marking tension specimens.6.4 Tension-Testing Equipment, as described in Test Meth-ods and Definitions
9、A 370.6.5 Specimen-Supporting Rack, slotted to support speci-mens on edge spaced 1 in. (25.4 mm) apart.6.6 Furnace, capable of heating the test specimens and theirsupporting rack to the firing temperature in 2 min.7. Reagents and Materials7.1 Sheet Steel, sufficient in size to provide the test speci
10、-men, described in Section 8.7.2 Solvent, such as acetone or isopropyl alcohol.7.3 Hydrochloric Acid (1+1)Dilute 1 volume of concen-trated hydrochloric acid (HCl, sp gr 1.19) with 1 volume ofwater.8. Sampling8.1 Obtain ten test samples, each approximately 1 by 9 in.(25 by 229 mm), from within the qu
11、arter lines of the sheetsample, the long dimension being in the direction of rolling.9. Procedure9.1 Remove burrs from the cut edges of the test samples.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee B08 on Metallicand Inorganic Coatings and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee

Maintain a minimum of 1 in.(25.4 mm) of length between the grips of the tension-testingmachine and the gage marks.9.3 Elongate duplicate test samples to nominal strain levelsof 0, 8, 12, 16, and 20 %. Measure the elongation withextensome
15、ters, dividers, or other means.9.4 Remove the test samples from the tension machine andmeasure actual strain to the nearest 0.01 in. (0.25 mm).9.5 Clean the strained test samples with the solvent and firein air atmosphere at 1450 6 10F (788 6 5C) for 4 min. Testsamples may be hung from hooks or supp
16、orted on edge spaced1 in. (25.4 mm) apart (if the latter, be sure to support in amanner to prevent sagging during firing). The test samplesshould reach the firing temperature within 2.0 6 0.5 min.9.6 Remove the samples from the furnace and air cool.9.7 Descale the fired samples in a HCl (1+1) soluti
17、oncontaining a few drops of an inhibitor, such as formaldehyde,at a temperature of 70 to 100F (21 to 38C). Promptly rinsethe test samples and dry.9.8 Machine the descaled test samples to make standardrectangular tension tests specimens in accordance with TestMethods and Definitions A 370. The specim
18、ens shall have aminimum length of 8 in. (204 mm) and the sides of the reducedsection shall be parallel.9.9 Measure the thickness and width of each specimen, andtest for yield strength as described in Test Methods E8at acrosshead speed of 0.10 in. (2.5 mm)/min. Determine the yieldstrength at the lowe
19、r point or by the 0.5 % extension underload.10.
