Organisationseinheit der BAM
The room temperature tensile properties of iron with different purity levels (commercially pure, high-purity, and ultra-high-purity) were characterized at different strain rates in the framework of an international Round-Robin involving four laboratories (BAM, IMR-TU, NIST, and SCKCEN). The test results were collected and analyzed by NIST, and are presented in this Technical Note.
Data from all the participating laboratories were found in good agreement, thus allowing a clear assessment of the influence of strain rate and purity level on tensile properties (mechanical resistance and ductility). A clear increase of yield strength and, to a lesser extent, tensile strength was observed for all materials as strain rate increases and purity level decreases. The highest strain rate sensitivity was associated with the highest purity level (ultra-high-purity Fe). Ductility trends were less unequivocal, but typically an increase of elongation at fracture and reduction of area was detected as strain rate and purity level increase. Significant differences in tensile properties were observed between the two investigated types of high-purity Fe, which can be attributed to an influence of the production process in terms of melting environment (atmosphere and crucible), as well as differences in chemical compositions.
An interlaboratory study, involving eigth international laboratories and coordinated by COMTES FHT (Czech Republic), was conducted to validate tensile measurements obtained using miniature specimens on additively manufactured (AM) components and artifacts. In addition to AM 316L stainless steel (316L SS), a wrought highstrength steel (34CrNiMo6V, equivalent to AISI 4340) was also used. Based on the results, a precision statement in accordance with ASTM E691 standard practice was developed, intended for inclusion in a proposed annex to the ASTM E8/E8M tension testing method. The primary outcomes of the study highlighted the agreement between yield and tensile strength measured from miniature and standard-sized tensile specimens. Furthermore, most tensile properties exhibited similar standard deviations, offering users insight into the efficacy of miniature specimen applications.
