24、specimens for investigating the susceptibility of a metal to stress corrosion. Analysis of the state and distribution of stress in the C-ring is presented. The term “metal” as used in this part of ISO7539 includes alloys. 1.2 The C-ring is a versatile, economical specimen for determining the suscept
25、ibility to stress corrosion cracking of all types of metals in a wide variety of product forms including parts joined by welding. It is particularly suitable for tests of tube, rod and plate (see Figure 1). Notched specimens may also be used (see5.3.8). 1.3 C-ring specimens may be stressed to predet
26、ermined levels, using simple equipment for application of either constant load or constant strain. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of ISO7539.

ISO 7539-6:1989, Corrosion of metals and alloys Stress corrosion testing Part6: Preparation and use of pre-cracked specimens. 3 Definitions For the purposes of this par
29、t of ISO7539, the definitions given in ISO7539-1 are applicable. 4 Principle 4.1 The test consists of subjecting a specimen to constant load or to constant strain with a view to determining stress corrosion susceptibility by reference to one or more of the parameters enumerated in clause7. 4.2 Corro
30、sive environments may cause a deterioration of the properties of stressed materials beyond those observed with the same combination of environment and material when the latter is not subjected to stress. This enhanced deterioration may be expressed in a number of different ways for the purpose of as
31、sessing stress corrosion susceptibility. 4.3 The commonest form of deterioration due to stress corrosion involves the initiation and growth of cracks, one or more of which may eventually lead to total failure of a specimen if the test is conducted for an appropriate time. 4.4 Wide variations in test
32、 results may be obtained for a given metal and environment even when testing nominally identical specimens and the replication of tests is frequently necessary. If specimens are prepared to different sizes or orientations or are subjected to different stressing procedures, test results may be even m
33、ore variable. 4.5 The time required for cracks to appear after exposure of stressed specimens to the test environment or the threshold stress below which cracks do not appear can be used as a measure of the stress corrosion resistance of the material in the test environment at the stress level emplo
34、yed. 5 Specimens 5.1 Specimen design 5.1.1 The size of C-rings may be varied over a wide range, but C-rings with an outside diameter less than15mm are not recommended because of increased difficulties in machining and decreased precision in stressing. The dimensions of the ring can affect the stress
35、 state, and these considerations are discussed in5.2. Figure 2 is a drawing showing typical dimensions for the manufacture of a C-ring. 5.1.2 In testing thick sections that have a directional grain structure, it is essential that the C-ring should be orientated in the section so that the direction o
36、f the principal stress is normal to the plane of minimum resistance to stress corrosion cracking. If the ring is not so orientated it will tend to crack off-centre at a location where the stress is unknown and lower than the calculated stress (see5.3.3). Appropriate instructions should therefore be
37、given to workshop personnel. C-ring specimens may be used as notched or fatigue pre-cracked specimens, the stress states of which are considered in5.3.8 for notched specimens and in ISO7539-6 for pre-cracked specimens.ENISO7539-5:1995 4 BSI 04-2000 Figure 1 Sampling procedure for testing various pro
38、ductsENISO7539-5:1995 BSI 04-2000 5 5.2 Stress considerations 5.2.1 The stress of principal interest in the C-ring specimen is the circumferential stress. This is not uniform: there is a gradient through the thickness, varying from a maximum in tension on one surface to a maximum in compression on t
39、he opposite surface. The stress varies also around the circumference of the C-ring from zero at each bolt hole to a maximum at the centre of the arc opposite the stressing bolt. The stress calculated according to Annex A is present only along a line across the ring at the middle of the arc. Thus, if
40、 the stress is determined by measuring the strain on the tension surface of the C-ring, the strain gauge should be positioned at the middle of the arc in order to indicate the maximum strain. The stress varies across the width of the ring to an extent which depends on the width-to-thickness and diam
41、eter-to-thickness ratios. In general, if loaded as shown in Figure 3 a) and Figure 3 b), the tensile stress on the outer surface is greater at the edges than at the centre, while if loaded as shown in Figure 3c), the tensile stress on the inner surface is less at the edges than at the centre. 5.2.2
42、Another characteristic of the stress system in the C-rings is the presence of biaxial stresses; that is, transverse as well as circumferential stresses are developed. The transverse axial stress varies from a maximum at the mid-width to zero at the edges, and has the same sign as the circumferential
43、 stress. In general, the transverse stress decreases with decreasing width-to-thickness and increasing diameter-to-thickness ratios. 5.2.3 In the case of the notched C-ring a triaxial stress state is present adjacent to the root of the notch. In addition, the circumferential stress at the root of th
44、e notch will be greater than the nominal stress and generally may be expected to be in the plastic range. 5.2.4 When C-rings are machined from products that contain appreciable residual stress or are subjected to heat treatment involving quenching after being machined, internal stresses may be prese
45、nt. These may introduce errors in the calculated stress. It is necessary to measure the tubing diameter before and after the axial cut is made and to use these measurements to calculate the residual stresses in the tube. 5.2.5 The possibility of relaxation during the exposure period should be consid
46、ered, especially when specimens are exposed at elevated temperatures. Relaxation can be estimated if creep data are available for both the ring and the stressing bolt. Figure 2 Example of C-ring specimenENISO7539-5:1995 6 BSI 04-2000 NOTEIf the ring and bolt have different coefficients of thermal ex
47、pansion, the applied stress may be significantly changed when testing at elevated temperatures. Also, if plastic insulators are used to avoid galvanic corrosion, the possibility of stress relaxation should be anticipated. 5.3 Stressing methods 5.3.1 C-ring specimens are usually loaded under constant
48、 displacement conditions with tensile stress produced on the exterior of the ring by tightening a bolt centred on the diameter of the ring see Figure 3 a). 5.3.2 C-rings can alternatively be stressed in the reverse direction by spreading the ring and creatinga tensile stress on the inside surface as
49、 in Figure 3c) or, preferably, by the use of a wedge opening technique to displace the arms of the C-rings as in Figure 4. In the latter case the necessary displacement is provided by inserting an accurately machined wedge of the same material as the C-ring, so avoiding galvanic effects. A suitable jig for inserting the wedge is shown in Figure 4. 5.3.3 The C-ring test can be modified for approximately constant load conditions by the use of a suitably calibrated spring placed on the loading bolt see Figure 3b). 5
