ASTM E3097 test method covers the process of obtaining the residual strain and transformation temperature of shape memory alloys when they undergo applied axial stress at a specific temperature. The errors in strain measurement are rectified by making adjustments in the gripping mechanism. The final results are expressed in SI units.
Scope:
ASTM E3097 test method defines a standard for the selection and design of shape memory alloys. Constant force thermal cycling tests cover the effect of thermal cycling on the material. The method is helpful for compression testing and measuring the potential strength of shape memory alloys. The impact of temperature on the specimen and fluctuations in the strain are also determined.
Procedure:
A conventional uniaxial tension or compression apparatus is used with a temperature regulator. The material is heated at a specified temperature and cooled later on. The continuous heating and cooling of the specimen take place, and then the thermal conditions are equilibrated. Stress is applied to it. An extensometer is attached to the specimen, and the strain is compensated in it through zero-force thermal strain compensation. The sample strain is calculated due to the continuous fluctuation in temperature during the heating and cooling cycles.
Specimen size
The specimen size is adjusted as per the need. As in this case, the length of the specimen is one times the diameter.
Data:
The following shape memory parameters are calculated:
Actuation Strain: eact
Transformation Strain: et
Thermal Transformation Span: TSPAN
Hysteresis Width: WIDTH

The ASTM D2674 is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etches solution 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.
