3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions, as well as those given in GB/T 228.1, apply.
3.1 Plastic strain ratio
Under uniaxial tensile stress, the ratio of the true plastic strain in the width direction of the sample to the true plastic strain in the thickness direction, as shown in Formula (1).
Note: For some materials, other sampling directions may be used, in which case a calculation formula different from Formula (3) shall be used.
3.3 Degree of planar anisotropy
delta r The value obtained by substituting the rx/y values of the samples in different sampling directions into Formula (4). The values of r in different directions are measured using the same determination method and the same (engineering) plastic strain y or (engineering) plastic strain range alpha-beta.
Note: For some materials, other sampling directions may be used, in which case a calculation formula different from Formula (4) shall be used.
3.4 Poisson's ratio
The ratio of the elastic strain in the width direction of the sample to the elastic strain in the length direction.
4 Symbols and their meanings
The symbols used in this document and their meanings are shown in Table 1.
5 Principle
Plastic strain ratio (r) is usually used to characterize and evaluate materials, and is also used for numerical simulation of forming processes.
Stretch the sample to a specified (engineering) plastic strain level, and calculate r based on the change in sample width and thickness after unloading or after deducting the elastic strain, or calculate r based on the principle of volume invariance, using the changes in sample length and width, see formula (5). Where. epsilon p_a - true plastic strain in the thickness direction, epsilon p_a=ln;
epsilon p_b - true plastic strain in the width direction, epsilon p_b=ln;
epsilon p_l - true plastic strain in the length direction, epsilon p_l=ln.
The volume invariance principle only applies to the situation before the maximum plastic elongation Ag, because after this point the sample will undergo local necking and this principle is no longer valid.
Some materials will show a slight local necking before Ag, which may cause the instantaneous reduction of the sample in the width direction to be too large, resulting in an overestimation of r. This deviation is especially obvious when the transverse extensometer is only clamped in the middle area of the original gauge length of the sample. At this time, the following two processing methods are recommended.
a) The transverse extensometer should be able to measure the instantaneous reduction in the width direction of the sample at multiple locations, and the measurement points should cover the entire (longitudinal) gauge length;
b) The length of the parallel section of the sample should be at least six times the original width bo of the sample gauge length.
The sampling direction of the sample relative to the rolling direction and the (engineering) plastic strain level for determining r are specified by the relevant product standard.
When r >1, the deformation characteristic of the material is that the deformation in the width direction is greater than that in the thickness direction (epsilon p_b >epsilon p_a, as shown in Figure 1); when r< 1, the deformation in the thickness direction is greater than that in the width direction (epsilon p_b< epsilon p_a, as shown in Figure 1); when r=1, the deformation behavior of the material in the thickness direction and the width direction is isotropic (epsilon p_b=epsilon p_a, as shown in Figure 1). Key.
1 - original cross section of the parallel section of the sample;
2 - significant deformation of the material in the width direction;
3 - isotropic material (deformation is uniform across the width and thickness 4 - significant deformation of the material in the thickness direction; a Increase with the plastic extension.
6 Test apparatus
6.1 The tensile testing machine shall meet the requirements of GB/T 228.1 for equipment.
6.2 For the manual measurement method (see 8.2), the device used to measure the original gauge length of the sample and the gauge length after plastic deformation occurs and is unloaded shall have an accuracy of ±0.2% or better. The device used to measure the original width of the sample and the width of the sample after plastic deformation occurs and is unloaded shall have an accuracy of ±0.005 mm or better.
6.3 For the semi-automatic measurement method (see 8.3), the longitudinal extensometer shall meet the accuracy requirements of Class 1 or better in GB/T 12160.
The device used to measure the original width of the sample and the width of the sample after plastic deformation occurs and is unloaded shall have an accuracy of ±0.005 mm or better.
Note: The accuracy of the longitudinal extensometer gauge length Le has a great influence on the determination of the r value.
6.4 For the automatic measurement method (see 8.4), the extensometer shall meet the accuracy requirements of Class 1 or better in GB/T 12160 within the range used, and the device for measuring the original width of the sample shall have an accuracy of ±0.1% or better.
Note: When the gauge length of the extensometer is long and the extension is large, the maximum measurement error of the Class 1 extensometer may exceed ±0.01 mm.
6.5 The clamping method of the sample shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 228.1.
7 Test sample
7.1 Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the relevant product standards. If the product standards do not specify, sampling shall be carried out in accordance with the agreement between the relevant parties.
7.2 The sample type and preparation, including size tolerance, shape tolerance, and marking of the original gauge length, shall comply with the requirements of Appendix E of GB/T 228.1-2021. The two sides of the sample shall be sufficiently parallel within the gauge length to ensure that the difference in width measurements at any two locations is less than 0.1% of the average width measurement.
7.3 In order to ensure that the various types of samples listed in GB/T 228.1-2021 (Appendix E) produce uniform deformation within the gauge length, it shall be ensured that the parallel section length of the sample Lc >= (Lo + 2bo). If Lc >= (Lo + 2bo) cannot be met due to insufficient size of the product, with the agreement of both the supplier and the buyer, a sample with Lc meeting the minimum value specified in Appendix E of GB/T 228.1-2021 can be used. It is recommended to use a transverse extensometer with a multi-line measurement method (see reference [1]), or select a smaller gauge length after consultation and agreement between all parties.
7.4 Unless otherwise specified, the sample thickness shall be the full thickness of the plate being tested.
7.5 There shall be no surface defects (such as scratches) in the parallel section of the sample.
8 Test procedure
8.1 General requirements
8.1.1 The test is generally carried out at room temperature between 10 °C and 35 °C.
When the test is required to be carried out under temperature-controlled conditions, the temperature shall be controlled at (23±5) °C.
8.1.2 The strain rate should be switched after the sample has undergone at least 0.2% plastic deformation and entered the evaluation range of r. Within the evaluation range of r, the strain rate of the parallel section of the sample shall remain constant within a relative deviation of no more than ±20% and shall not exceed 0.008 s-1.
Note: The value of r measured on a coated material (e.g., galvanized or organically coated) may differ from that of the uncoated base material.
8.1.3 If, after the test, the sample shows lateral bending (see Figure 2) that may affect the test results, the test is invalid and shall be repeated. […]
