Scope1.1 This test method is intended as a procedure for theperformance of rotating bending fatigue tests of solid roundfine wir

This testmethod is limited to the fatigue testing of small diameter solidround wire subjected to a constant amplitude periodic s
4、train(stress). The methodology can be useful in assessing the effectsof internal material structure, such as inclusions, in melttechnique and cold work processing studies. However, there isa caveat. The strain, due to the radial strain gradient imposedby the test methodology, is a maximum at the sur
5、face and zeroat the centerline. Thus the test method may not seek out the“weakest link,” largest inclusions, that govern uniaxial highcycle fatigue life where the strain is uniform across the crosssection and where fatigue damage initiates at a subsurfacelocation (1-5).2Also, pre-strain, which can i

17、d Use5.1 A method for obtaining fatigue strain (stress) at aspecific life is of interest to the wire manufacturer, designer andconsumer. The method is useful in production control, materialacceptance and determination of the fatigue strain (stress) ofthe wire at a specific fatigue life, that is, fat
18、igue strength.Rotating bending fatigue testing of small diameter solid roundwire is possible by looping a specimen of predetermined lengththrough an arc of 90 to 180. The bending strain (stress) isdetermined from the geometry of the loop thusly formed. Themethodology is capable of high frequency tes
19、ting provided thetemperature of the test article is constant and there is noadiabatic heating of the wire. A constant temperature can bemaintained by immersing the specimen in a constant tempera-ture fluid bath or test media. This makes it practical to quicklytest a sufficient number of specimens to
20、 provide a statisticalfrequency distribution or survival probability distribution offatigue life at a given strain (stress). Fatigue life information isuseful to ascertain wire in-service durability and to assess, forexample, the effects of melt practice and cold work processing.6. Methods6.1 Non-gu
21、ided or guided rotating bending tests, or both areincluded in this test method.Typical test frequency ranges from1 to 37 000 cycles per minute. Test frequency should beselected carefully since it can influence the rate at whichfatigue damage accumulates. In the guided rotating bendingtest, the guidi
22、ng mandrel maintains the test specimen geometryand is recommended for test specimens under high bendingstrain (stress); test specimens that exhibit strain (stress)-induced phase transformations; test specimens with asymmetri-cal tension and compression behavior; test specimens with anon-central neut

Or, in an alternatemethod, one end of the
24、 wire (precut to a precise length) isattached to a driven shaft and the other end is inserted into arestraining bushing, Fig. 2. The wire end is free to rotate withinthe bushing. A cumulative cycle counter records each revolu-tion of the wire as a fatigue cycle. Cumulative cycles can alsobe determin
25、ed from the time to fracture at a constant rotationrate. The specimen is rotated in the arc geometry until a failureoccurs (herein defined as complete separation or fracture of thewire) tripping the failure sensor, see Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, andterminating the test.

An environmental chamber may be placed on the platform and tests can be performed in a temperaturecontrolled liquid
27、medium. Loss of electrical continuity from one collet through the wire to the other collet indicates wire fracture and test termination. B) Wire supports: Thewire passes through slits in the supports to maintain in-plane motion of the wire during the test. The supports should be placed such that the
28、y do not impose any additionalforce or torque on the wire. Preferred placement for the supports is just off the apex of the wire loop perpendicular to a tangent to the loop. The support material shouldbe a low friction material and support placement should be chosen to minimize friction.FIG. 1 Non-G

It is necessary to maintain theshaft spacing and specimen length relations of X1.1 for a validtest. These relations ensure a zero bending moment at thecollets (or collet and bushing) and an axia

33、etec-tion devices are available. In one method a corrosion resistantmetal wire is connected electrically such that when contact ismade with the fractured metal test specimen the test isterminated and the instrument motor and timer/cycle counterstop. Fracture detection by sensing electrical continuit
34、y be-tween the collets should be limited to less than 1 mA mm-2.Other possible fracture detection devices are fiber optic or lasersensors that are triggered by the fracture of the test specimen.7. Test Procedure7.1 Non-guided rotating bending fatigue testThe speci-men free length and the collet-to-c
35、ollet or collet-to-bushingshaft spacing are determined from the desired fatigue strain orsubsequent nominal elastic stress amplitude, the wire diameterand the modulus of elasticity of the material under test. SeeX1.1 for strain and nominal elastic stress calculations. A cast,or curvature of the wire
36、, is commonly associated with cold-drawn wire. The wire should be straightened only by handA) L-bracket: Contains support bushing and allows for adjustment of driven collet to bushing spacing. B) Bushing: In this apparatus, there is a single driven collet. Thewire is free to rotate in the bushing. C
37、learance between the wire and inside diameter of the bushing is important in order to minimize the tendency of the wire to “fly out”of the bushing. Too great a clearance and the wire may not remain in place and too small a clearance may prevent rotation. C) Collet: The spacing of a single driven col
38、letto bushing fixes the strain amplitude. D) Wire supports: The wire passes through small slits in the supports so that it can be held in-plane during the test. Preferredplacement for the supports is just off the apex of the wire loop perpendicular to a tangent to the loop. A test setup with a colle
39、t to bushing spacing (that is, center distanceas defined in X1.1) greater than 4-5 inches (10.2-12.7 cm) would benefit from an extra set of supports (not shown) to help minimize possible wire out-of-plane oscillation.E) Break detector: When the wire fractures, contact will be made with one of the st
40、rategically placed break detectors. The break detector is a corrosion resistant metal wire,electrically connected such that when contact is made with the metal test specimen the test is terminated and the instrument motor and timer/cycle counter stop. It isrecommended to place one break detector nea
41、r the apex of the wire loop and a second detector between the support and the collet. Detectors should be placed within5 10 mm of the rotating wire. Adequate detector to wire clearance is necessary to prevent premature shut down.FIG. 2 Non-Guided Rotary Bending Apparatus with Bushing and Rotating Sh

However,if the desired service state includes mechanical or thermal-mechanical straightening then mechanical or thermal-mechanical straightening is acceptable. The wire is ass
43、umed tobe in a zero residual stress state. If this is not the case, anassessment of the residual stress state and its influence on theresults should be made and reported with the test results. Itshould then be cut-to-length and the collet-to-collet or collet-to-bushing shaft center distance adjusted
44、 and set according tothe calculations in X1.1. Clamp the wire in the collet, insertingthe other end in the proper collet or bushing location, andlocate the supports and fractured wire sensors. Be cautious atthis point in the test set-up so as not to kink or unduly bend thewire. It is critical that t
45、he supports cause the wire to remain ina single vertical or horizontal plane throughout the test.Out-of-plane displacement or oscillation of the specimenshould be less than 5 mm. Low friction materials, such aspolyoxymethylene or polytetrafluoroethylene, are recom-mended for the support material. Me
46、tallic supports such asbronze, with or without lubrication, are not recommendedbecause of higher friction coefficients and possible corrosioninteraction. Placement of wire supports just off the apex of thewire loop will minimize oscillation. Multiple supports may beused for large collet-to-collet or
47、 collet-to-bushing spacing.Friction between the specimen and support may cause fractureunder the support. In this case the test result is consideredinvalid. If the wire is held by a pin-vise collet, cautiously clampthe wire so as not to impart distortion or wire breakage at thecollet. Carefully set
48、the wire to wire-support clearance and thewire to bushing clearance. Clearances should be set to conformto an ANSI Standard RC8 Loose Running Fit (ANSI B4.1). Inthe case of the wire supports, too little clearance will hinderrotation resulting in a frictional torque on the wire and invalidtest result
49、. In the case of the bushing, too great a clearance maylead to the wire jumping out of the bushing during the test ortoo little a clearance may lead to a frictional torque on the wireand invalid test result. Rotate the collet by hand to ensure thespecimen is properly aligned in the collet(s) and supports toprevent excessive vibration or out-of-plane skew or oscillation.When using an environmental bath, the test specimen shouldbe positioned with bath-in-place and allowed to equilibrate tothe bath temperature. The amount of time required for equili-bration will depend on
