Terminology3.1 Description of Terms Specific to this Standard3.2 Dynamic Tear (DT) Energythe total energy requiredto fracture DT specimens tested in accordance with theprovisi
6、ons of this test method.NOTE 2With pendulum-type machines, the DT energy is the differ-ence between the initial and the final potential energies of the pendulumor pendulums.NOTE 3With drop-weight machines, the DT energy is the differencebetween the initial potential energy of the hammer and the fina
7、l energy ofthe hammer as determined by a calibrated energy measurement system.3.3 Percent Shear Fracture AppearancePercent shearfracture appearance is the percent of the net section thatfractured in a shear mode. Net section can be either the netsection area before fracture or the area of the projec

Summary of Test Method4.1 The DT test involves a single-edge notched beam that isimpact loaded in three-point bending, and the total energy lossduring separation is recorded.4.2 The DT specimens are fractured with pendulum ordrop-weight machines.5. Significance an
9、d Use5.1 The DT energy value is a measure of resistance to rapidprogressive fracturing. In a number of applications, the en-hanced resistance that may develop during about one platethickness of crack extension from a sharp notch is of majorinterest. In the test method, a sufficiently long fracture p
10、ath isprovided so that the results serve as a measure of this property.5.2 Fracture surfaces of nonaustenitic steels tested in theirtemperature transition region have areas that appear bright andareas that appear dull. The bright, faceted appearing areas aretermed “cleavage” fracture, and the dull a
11、ppearing areas aretermed “shear” fracture after their respective mode of fractureon a micro scale.5.3 This test method can serve the following purposes:5.3.1 In research and development, to evaluate the effects ofmetallurgical variables such as composition, processing, orheat treatment, or of fabric
12、ating operations such as forming andwelding on the dynamic tear fracture resistance of new orexisting materials.1This test method is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee E28 on FractureTesting and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E28.07 on Impact Testing.Current edition approved March

31、otch DetailThe notch is machined to provide afracture path in test material of 1.125 in. (28.5 mm); the smallextension required for notch sharpening is considered a portionof the nominal net section. Details of the notch are shown inFig. 2, and the notch dimensions shall conform to the valuesgiven t
32、herein.9.3 Procedure for Preparing Notch:9.3.1 Rough MachiningMachine a notch to the dimen-sions shown in Fig. 2. The angular apex portion and particu-larly the final cut on the root radius can be machined with aprecisely ground saw, cutter, electric discharge machine, or anyother machining process
33、that will ensure a final root radius lessthan 0.005 in. (0.13 mm). These machining operations arenormally performed simultaneously for a group of specimens.9.3.2 Pressing Notch TipPressing the sharp tip of thenotch to the dimensions prescribed in Fig. 2 is performed onindividual specimens. The impre
34、ssion is made with a blade ofhigh-speed tool steel (60 HRC min), which has been ground tothe dimensions presented in Fig. 3, and subsequently honed toremove any burrs or rough edges. Any loading device withsufficient capacity to press the knife to the prescribed depthmay be used. The force required
35、to accomplish the pressing isrelated to the hardness and the thickness of the specimen. Theforce required can be approximated by either of the followingformulas:force lbf!547 3 ultimate tensile strength ksi!3B in.!force N!52.9 3 ultimate tensile strength MPa!3B mm!where B = thickness of the specimen

Calibration of Apparatus10.1 Single-Pendulum MachineSupport the pendulumhorizontally (90 6 1 from the rest position) at a point mostconvenient to react with a weighing device such a
37、s a platformscale, balance, or load cell, and determine the weight within0.4 %. Take care to minimize friction at the bearing supportand the weighing support. Measure the length of the momentarm (that is, the horizontal distance between the center ofrotation and a vertical line that passes through t
38、he point ofsupport) within 0.1 %. The potential energy at any angularposition can be calculated from the following formula:Energy 5 weight 3 moment arm 1 2 cos b!where b = the angle displaced when the pendulum is rotatedfrom the position of rest when hanging free. An alternativeprocedure may be used
39、 if the distance between the center ofrotation and the center of gravity is known within 0.1 %. Theweight is then determined within 0.4 %, with the pendulumsupported horizontally at a point in line with the center ofgravity. The potential energy at any position is equal to theweight times the elevat
40、ion of the center of gravity from the restposition.10.1.1 The friction and windage loss of energy in themachine shall not exceed 2.0 % of the initial energy. Thefriction and windage loss is the difference between the poten-tial energy of the pendulum from the starting position and thepotential energ
41、y of the pendulum after it completes its swingwithout a specimen. Compensate the friction and windage lossso that zero energy is indicated when the pendulum is releasedwithout a specimen being present.10.1.2 Impact VelocityDetermine the impact velocity, v,of the machine, neglecting friction as follo
