ASTM E1921 Determination of Reference Temperature for Ferritic Steels
The ASTM E1921 test method determines the characteristics of toughness and cleavage cracking at the ferritic steel’s elastic or elastic-plastic state by measuring the reference temperature. The fatigue precracked single-edge notched bars, and disk-shaped compact tension specimens with yield strength ranging from 275 to 825 MPa are used for the test after relieving the stress.

ASTM E1921 Determination of Reference Temperature for Ferritic Steels
The ASTM E1921 test method determines the characteristics of toughness and cleavage cracking at the ferritic steel’s elastic or elastic-plastic state by measuring the reference temperature. The fatigue precracked single-edge notched bars, and disk-shaped compact tension specimens with yield strength ranging from 275 to 825 MPa are used for the test after relieving the stress.
Scope:
ASTM E1921 test method defines a standard for the choice of the specimen based on proportional dimensions and is unique to homogeneous materials. It deals with cleavage cracking and temperature changes. It determines the fracture toughness and tolerance of ferritic steels. This method deals with screening criterion, theoretical reasoning, and shape-location master curve determination of the specimen. Measures are taken for the smooth application of specimens and for enhancing their reliability and assessment.
Procedure:
In ASTM E1921, the specimens such as notched and fatigue pre-cracked bends or compact specimens are tested at a specific temperature. An autographic recorder detects the force and displacement changes, and the fracture toughness is measured. A partial unloading compliance method measures the crack growth, and an appropriate temperature for the test is selected. Welding or spot welding each thermocouple wire to the specimen helps record the test temperature. The estimated crack size slope is compared against the defined pre-crack size, and modulus adjustments are made. All the data is recorded under displacement control, and reference temperature is obtained.
Specimen size:
For ASTM E1921, the specimen size should be as per the requirements. For initial crack size ao about 0.5W ± 0.05W, specimen width shall be 2B.
Data:
The following equation can be used in ASTM E1921 testing to calculate the value of reference temperature To that is adjusted for the detected uncertainty:
Tomar ꞊ To + σ (Zy)
Where: Tomar = Margin adjusted To value
σ = standard deviation of To Zy = Z-score at a specified confidence level (y)
Conclusion:
ASTM E1921 test method defines a standard for the choice of the specimen based on proportional dimensions and is unique to homogeneous materials.
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.
ASTM E2141 test methods provide accelerated aging and monitoring of the performance of time-dependent electrochromic devices (ECD) integrated in insulating glass units (IGU). This test helps to understand the relative serviceability of electrochromic glazings applied on ECD.
