ASTM C1368 Slow Crack Growth Parameters of Advanced Ceramics
The ASTM C1368 test technique uses a constant stress rate to determine the slow crack growth (SCG) parameters of advanced ceramics. Flexural testing is a method of determining flexural strength as a function of the applied stress rate in a particular environment at room temperature.
Scope:
ASTM C1368 determines slow crack growth parameters of ceramics by constant stress-rate flexural testing at ambient temperature. This test method provides empirical parameters for estimating ceramic materials’ relative slow crack growth (SCG) susceptibility in specific settings. It can be used to determine the effects of composition and processing factors on SCG as well as strength behavior of newly generated or existing materials, allowing for more precise customization and optimization of material processing. In summary, this test method may be used for material development, quality control, characterization, and limited design data generation purposes.
Test Procedure:
For ASTM C1368, the specimens are tested on their respective fixtures in specified testing setups. The fixture applies an initial load of no more than 20N to the specimen, followed by preloading, and then load control mode. A load versus time curve is recorded for each test to determine the actual loading rate, after which the associated stress rate is determined. Fracture load is measured with a 1% accuracy. Specimens that have been broken outside of the gauge length are not used as value data points for slow crack growth (SCG) parameters.
Specimen Size :
A rectangular beam specimen is used as a test specimen for ASTM C1368, which must be handled with care to avoid random and severe flaws during the test procedure.
Data:
In ASTM C1368, the coefficients of variation of the SCG parameter n and of the SCG parameter D is calculated as follows:
where,
CVn = coefficient of variation of the SCG parameter n
CVD = coefficient of variation of the SCG parameter D
SDn = standard deviation of the SCG parameter n
SDD = standard deviation of the SCG parameter D
Advanced ceramics’ strength is probabilistic in nature. As a result, SCG calculated from a ceramic material’s flexural strengths is similarly a probabilistic occurrence.
Conclusion:
ASTM C1368 determines slow crack growth parameters of ceramics by constant stress-rate flexural testing at ambient temperature.
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.
