26、218-1:2012EN 10218-1:2012 (E) 5 3 Tensile test 3.1 General The tensile test shall be in accordance with EN ISO 6892-1 for testing at ambient temperature and EN ISO 6892-2 for testing at elevated temperature with the modifications specified in 3.2 to 3.6. NOTE For fine wires 0,5 mm diameter or less,
27、any requirements for elongation values should not be mandatory but for information only. 3.2 Type of samples Samples shall be selected in accordance with EN ISO 377 using the full cross section, i.e. be an unmachined portion of wire. 3.3 Preparation of test piece The test piece shall be straightened
28、 with care so as not to cause damage (see EN ISO 6892-1 and EN ISO 377). 3.4 Cross-sectional area In EN ISO 6892-1, the actual dimensions are used for tensile calculations but the nominal dimensions may be used if specified in the product standard or order. For non-circular wire, the original cross-
29、sectional area may be determined from the mass of known length and its appropriate density. 3.5 Method of gripping To avoid breakages of the wire at the gripping zone, when testing the smaller diameters less than or equal to 1 mm, it is recommended the wire ends are wrapped round a circular bar or d
30、isc and fastened. 3.6 Tensile test on knotted wire The tensile test on knotted wire shall be carried out in accordance with EN ISO 6892-1 with a simple knot approximately in the middle of the test piece. 4 Simple torsion test The simple torsion test shall be in accordance with ISO 7800. In this even
31、t of initial failure, a retest shall be carried out (see EN 10021). Where possible, the retest shall be conducted at a speed conforming to requirements of ISO 7800 (as a function of wire diameter). Where the fracture in the torsion test is required to be characterized, it shall be done on the basis
32、of Table 1. NOTE For small diameter wires, it may not be possible to make a distinction between some of the classes in Table 1 (e.g. 2b versus 3b). 5 Reverse bend test The reverse bend test shall be in accordance with ISO 7801 with the following amendment for automatic counters. BS EN 10218-1:2012EN
33、 10218-1:2012 (E) 6 If the testing machine has an automatic counter operating at the limit stops, then the first bend down through 90 counts as one bend and the second bend is represented by the 180 bend in the opposite direction. The last figure obtained before fracture occurs counts as the number
34、of bends. 6 Wrapping test The wrapping test shall be in accordance with ISO 7802 and may be applied to assess coilability, ductility or the adherence of coatings as specified in the relevant product standard. 7 Bend test The bend test comprises bending the wire, which is allowed to move freely over
35、a mandrel of specified diameter through a specified angle in one operation at ambient temperature. Details will be given in the relevant product standard. 8 Reverse torsion test The reverse torsion test shall be in accordance with ISO 9649 with the following amendment: The test shall be used to dete
36、ct surface defects as well as to assess ductility. 9 Compression test 9.1 Purpose The purpose of the test is to detect surface defects. This test is not suitable for wires of less than 4,0 mm diameter. 9.2 Principle A straight test pieces of wire equal in length to 1 (or 1,5 times), the diameter of
37、the wire is cut, with cuts at right angles to the wire axis. The test piece is placed on a flat surface of a compression machine and compressed at room temperature in the direction of the wire axis to a specified percentage of it original length. The compressed test piece is examined for surface cra
38、cking. The degree of acceptability is specified in the product standard. 10 Deep etch test 10.1 Purpose The deep etch test is used for the detection of surface defects. 10.2 Principle A cold test piece is suitably degreased where appropriate. The test piece which has undergone deformation by drawing
39、 is washed and dried and in the case of high carbon steel, the test piece is stress relieved at 400 C to 500 C for 15 min and allowed to cool to ambient temperature before etching. With the exception of test pieces greater than 5,00 mm and test pieces of annealed structures, the test piece is immers
40、ed in a solution of 50 % by volume concentrated hydrochloridric acid and 50 % by volume of water, at a minimum temperature of 60 C for a period of time equivalent to 2 s for every 0,025 mm of diameter with a maximum of 5 min. Test pieces greater than 5,00 mm and test pieces of annealed structures ma
41、y be left in the solution for 10 min. BS EN 10218-1:2012EN 10218-1:2012 (E) 7 The test piece is examined for surface defects. To ascertain the depth of defect, the test piece is filed until the defect disappears, the difference in thickness before and after filing being recorded as the defect depth.
42、 For a definitive assessment of a defect, optical micrographical analysis shall be used. 11 Hardness test Hardness test shall be in accordance with EN ISO 6506-1 or EN ISO 6508 (Part 1 to Part 3) as specified in the product standard or in the order. A distinction should be made between surface hardn
43、ess, core hardness and through hardness. NOTE There is no relevant relationship between hardness and tensile strength. 12 Quench hardenability test The test pieces for the quench hardening test shall be heated in neutral or reducing furnace atmosphere up to the austenitising temperature specified fo
44、r the steel type, and maintained at this temperature until they are completely austenitised. They shall then be taken out of the furnace and promptly quenched down, in a high-duty quenching oil, to complete temperature equalization. The high-duty quenching oil shall be at a temperature of (50 10) C,
45、 be of sufficient volume and agitated such that together with the speed of immersion, the test pieces shall achieve the temperature of the quenching medium without significant delay. The hardness test shall be carried out in accordance with Clause 11 on a suitably prepared test piece. A distinction
46、should be made between core hardness and through hardness. In case of dispute, reference to the Jominy value of the original feedstock shall be made for the particular steel. 13 Fatigue test (bend and axial) The tests to be applied for wire are an axial fatigue test or a rotating bend fatigue test a
47、nd within the scope of these tests, there are a number of variations. The subsequent interpretation of the test results of any one test should be carefully considered in relation to the results obtained from another test. Such is the complexity of interpretation, that specific references will appear
48、 in the appropriate product standard. 14 Wire cast measurement 14.1 General 14.1.1 The cast of wire is characterised by the diameter of the free laying unrestrained wap of wire taken from coil or reel. For coil, ends can be together (closed cast) or apart (open cast). NOTE For the purposes of this s
49、tandard, the terms “coil“, “reel“, “spool“ and “bobbin“ are synonymous. 14.1.2 Sufficient wire from a coil or reel is cut off to produce a full free wap (single convolution of wire) ensuring that it is not bent or damaged (see Figure 1). BS EN 10218-1:2012EN 10218-1:2012 (E) 8 Key 1 Take several waps (convolutions of wire) and at one point cut the sample to provide an unrestrained wap Figure 1 Sampling of wire 14.1.3 The test speci
