ASTM E2448-08 测定金属薄板材的超塑性特性的标准试验方法

The determination of the superplastic properties of a metallic sheet material is important for the observation, development and comparison of superplastic materials. It is also necessary to predict the correct forming parameters during an SPF process. SPF tensile testing has peculiar characteristics compared to conventional mechanical testing, which distort the true values of stress, strain, strain hardening, and strain rate at the very large elongations encountered in an SPF pull test, consequently conventional mechanical test methods cannot be used. This test method addresses those characteristics by optimizing the shape of the test coupon and specifying a new test procedure. The evaluation of a superplastic material can be divided into two parts. Firstly, the basic superplastic-forming (SPF) properties of the material are measured using the four parameters of stress, temperature, strain, and strain rate. These are obtained using conversions from the raw data of a tensile test. Secondly, derived properties useful to define an SPF material are obtained from the basic properties using specific equations.1.1 This test method describes the procedure for determining the superplastic forming properties (SPF) of a metallic sheet material. It includes tests both for the basic SPF properties and also for derived SPF properties. The test for basic properties encompasses effects due to strain hardening or softening. 1.2 This test method covers sheet materials with thicknesses of at least 0.5 mm but not greater than 6 mm. It characterizes the material under a uni-axial tensile stress condition. Note 18212;Most industrial applications of superplastic forming involve a multi-axial stress condition in a sheet; however it is more convenient to characterize a material under a uni-axial tensile stress condition. Tests should be performed in different orientations to the rolling direction of the sheet to ascertain initial anisotropy. 1.3 This method has been used successfully between strain rates of 10-5 to 10-1 per second. 1.4 This method has been used successfully on Aluminum and Titanium alloys. The use of the method with other metals should be verified. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

ASTM E646-07 金属薄板材拉伸应变硬化指数(n值)的标准试验方法

This test method is useful for estimating the strain at the onset of necking in a uniaxial tension test (1). Practically, it provides an empirical parameter for appraising the relative stretch formability of similar metallic systems. The strain-hardening exponent is also a measure of the increase in strength of a material due to plastic deformation. The strain-hardening exponent may be determined over the entire plastic stress-strain curve or any portion(s) of the stress-strain curve specified in a product specification. Note 38212;The strain interval 10–20% is commonly utilized for determining the n-value of formable low carbon steel products. This test method is not intended to apply to any portion of the true-stress versus true-strain curve that exhibits discontinuous behavior; however, the method may be applied by curve-smoothing techniques as agreed upon. Note 48212;For example, those portions of the stress-strain curves for mild steel or aluminum alloys which exhibit yield-point elongation or Luuml;ders bands may be characterized as behaving discontinuously. Note 58212;Caution should be observed in the use of curve-smoothing techniques as they may affect the n-value. This test method is suitable for determining the tensile stress-strain response of metallic sheet materials in the plastic region prior to the onset of necking. The n-value may vary with the displacement rate or strain rate used, depending on the metal and test temperature.1.1 This test method covers the determination of a strain-hardening exponent by tension testing of metallic sheet materials for which plastic-flow behavior obeys the power curve given in the Introduction. Note 18212;A single power curve may not fit the entire stress-strain curve between yield and necking. If such is the case, more than one value of the strain-hardening exponent can be obtained (2). 1.2 This test method is for metallic sheet materials with thicknesses of at least 0.005 in. (0.13 mm) but not greater than 0.25 in. (6.4 mm). 1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.1 This specification covers zinc-nickel alloy coatings applied by the electrolytic process to hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel sheet. The coating has a smooth, spangle-free surface. The zinc-nickel-coated sheet covered in this specification is produced in a range of coating masses to provide coatings that are compatible with the anticipated service life required. The coating mass varies, from very thin coatings that are usually painted to provide good service, to relatively heavy masses that provide good corrosion resistance in the bare (unpainted) condition. The composition range is from 9 to 16 % nickel, by weight, with the balance being zinc.1.2 The product shall be coated on one or both surfaces with equal or differential coating masses on the two surfaces. Sheet coated with equal coating masses on each surface has similar levels of corrosion protection on each surface. Often, however, a higher level of corrosion protection is required on one surface than is required on the other. In these situations, one surface shall be specified with a heavier coating mass than the other. Either surface, when specified to be painted, will provide additional corrosion protection as compared to an unpainted surface.1.3 This coating process has essentially no effect on the base metal mechanical properties, and use is permitted on any grade of hot- or cold-rolled steel sheet. The coated sheet is available as Commercial Steel (CS), Drawing Steel (DS), Deep Drawing Steel (DDS), Extra-Deep Drawing Steel (EDDS), Structural Steel (SS), High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel (HSLAS), High-Strength Low-Alloy Steel with Improved Formability (HSLAS-F), Solution-Hardened Steel (SHS), or Bake-Hardenable Steel (BHS).1.4 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.
