ASTM E1450 Test for Tension Testing of Structural Alloys in Liquid Helium
ASTM E1450 covers tensile testing of structural alloys in liquid helium. The format is similar to other tension tests except that this test is conducted cryogenically. Cryogenics deals with the effect of very low temperatures. Cryogenic testing requires special apparatus, smaller specimens, and concern for serrated yielding, adiabatic heating, and strain-rate effects.
Scope:
ASTM E1450 covers a tensile test done in a cryostat, a device used to maintain low cryogenic temperatures. This test is used to measure yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, and reduction of area. Tension tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. This information is used for alloy development, comparison and selection of materials, and quality control.
Test Procedure:
In ASTM E1450, the main apparatus includes a tensile cryostat for applying tensile forces to the test specimens in cryogenic environments. The dimensions of the specimen are measured. The specimen is installed in the cryostat. To prevent icing, the apparatus is dried with an air jet or heat gun.
Cryogens (such as liquid helium) are substances used to produce extremely low temperatures. Cryogens are stored in a vacuum flask called a cryogenic dewar. In this test, the dewar is positioned on the cryostat and the liquid helium is transferred into the cryostat. The specimen is submerged in the liquid helium until it reaches thermal equilibrium. The testing machine grips the specimen and gradually extends it until it fractures. During this process, the elongation of the gauge section is recorded against the applied force. The data is manipulated so that it is not specific to the geometry of the test sample

Specimen size:
In ASTM E1450, the tensile specimen has two shoulders and a gauge section between them. The shoulders are bigger so they can be easily gripped and the gauge section has a smaller cross-section so that deformation and failure can occur in this area.
Data:
The following data is calculated in ASTM E1450:
1. Tensile strength:
Su = Pmax /A
Su = the tensile strength
Pmax = the maximum load
2. Yield point: the stress beyond which a material becomes plastic,
YP = PYP /A0 PYP = load at the yield point.
3. Percentage elongation: The extent to which the test specimen has stretched at failure,
Elongation = ɛ = (ΔL/L0) x 100
ΔL: Change in length
L0: Initial length
4. The percentage reduction of area (%RA): The amount the specimen has necked or reduced in diameter at the point of failure,
5. Discontinuous Yielding Stress:
σ= yielding stress F = maximum force A = area
Conclusion:
ASTM E1450 covers a tensile test done in a cryostat, a device used to maintain low cryogenic temperatures.
ASTM E572 test method covers the analysis of stainless and alloy steels by Wavelength Dispersive X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (WDXRF). It provides rapid, multi-element determinations with sufficient accuracy to assure product quality.
The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
ASTM G65 measures the resistance of metallic materials to abrasion using the dry sand/rubber wheel apparatus. The quality, durability, and toughness of the sample are determined using this test. Metallic materials are ranked in their resistance to scratching abrasion under a controlled environment.
