Scope 1.1 This test method covers the determination of critical cerack-tip opening displacement (CTOD) values at one or more of several crack extension events. These CTOD values can be used as measures of fracture toughness for metallic materials, and are especially appropriate to materials that exhibit e change from dactile to brittle behavior with decreasing temperate. ais test method applies specifically to notched specimens sharpened by fatigue cracking. The recommended specimens are three-point bend [SE(B)] compact [C(T)], or are-shaped bond [A(B)] specimens. The loading rate is slow and influences of environment (other than temperature) are no! covered. The specimens are tested under crosshead or clip gage displacement controlled loading. 1.1 The recommended specimen thickness, , for the ‘SE(B) and CCT specimens is that of the material in thicknesses intended for an application. For the A(B) epecimen, the recommended depth, W, is the wall thickness of the tube or pipe from which the specimen is obtained. Superficial surface ‘machining may be used when desired. 1.12 For the recommended three-peint bend specimens ISE@)), width, W, is citier equal to, or twice, the specimen thickness, 8, depending upon the application of the test. (See 423 for applications of the recommended specimens.) For SE(B) specimens the recommendsd initial normalized oreck size is 0.45 = a/W = 0.70, The span-to-widkh ratio (9/7) is ~oeciled as 4. 1.1.3 For the recommended compaet specimen [C(T)] the initial normalized crack size is 0.45 = a/iW = 0.70. The bal-bejeht-io-widin ratio (H/W) equals 0.6 and the width to thickness ratio W/B is specified to be 2. 1.14 For the recommended sre.shaped hend [A(B)] speci- ten, B is one-half the specimen depih, W. The initial normal- ized crack size is 0.45 < 2/W< 0.55. The span to width ratio, SW. may be either 3 or 4 depending on the ratio of the inner to outer tube radius. For an inner radius, 7), to an outer radius, ‘rp ratio of > 0.6 to 1.0,» span to width ratio, S/W, of 4 may be Used. For ry/r ratios from 0.4 100.6, an S/W of 3 may be used. 2 Tiss read is ude thereto of ASTM Commitee £3 cn Fasigue snd Froeae snd sth drwctrepesaiiiy of Subcommittee 508.08 09 lacie Pasi Fracture Mechanics Technsogs. ‘Cares! ection approved June 10, 199, Publibed Setenber 1998.

The values of CTOD may correspond to: 8. the onset of unstable britle crack extension with no significant prior slow stable crack extension (See 32.1); 8,, the onset of unstable brittle crack extension following prior slow stable crack extension; 8... al the first attainment of a maximum force plateau for fully plastic behavior. 4.2 The test method involves crosshead or clip gage dis- placement controlled three-point bend loading or pin loeding of fatigue precracked specimens. Force versus clip gage crack ‘opening displacement is recorded, for example, Fig. 1. The forces and displacements corresponding to the specific events in the crack initiation and extension process are used to etermine the comesponding CTOD values. For values of 5.8, nd ,,. the corresponding force and clip gage displacements are obtained directly from the test records, 4.3 The rectangular vection bend specimen and the compact specimen are intended (0 maximize constraint and these are generally recommended for those through-thickness crack types and orientations for which such geometries are feasible.

This test method may also be used to characterize the toughness of materials for which the properties and thickness of interest preclude the determination of X;, fracture toughness in accor dance with Test Method E 399, 5.2 The different values of CTOD determined by this test method characterize the resistance of a material to crack initiation and carly crack extension at a given temperature. 53 The values of CTOD may be affected by specimen dimensions. It has been shown that valuss of CTOD deter- mined on SE(B) specimens using the square section geometry may not be the same as those using the rectangular section geometry, and may differ from those obtained with either the (OT or (ADB specimens. ‘54 The values of CIOD determined by this test method vay serve the following purposes: SA. In research and development, CTOD testing can show the effects of certain parameters on the fracture toughness of metallic materials significant to. service performance. These parameters include material composition, therms-méchanical processing, welding, and thermal stress relief 5.42 For specifications of acceptance and manufacturing: quality control of base materials, weld metals, and weld hest affected zones, 5.43 Fer inspection and flaw assessment criteria, when used {in conjunction with fracture mechanics analyses, Awareness of differences that may exist between laboratory tes: and field conditions is required to make proper flaw assessment (see 43 and 4.4), 6.

Force versus displacement is autographically recorded on an.x-y plotter for visual display, or converted to digital form for accumulation in 2 computer information storage facility and subsequent pro- cessing. Testing is performed under crosshead or clip gage isplacement control in a compression or tension testing mactine, or both, that conforms fo the requirements of Prac- tices B4, 6.2 Fextwing for Three-Point Bend Specimens—A recom- mended SE(B) or A(B) specimen fixture is shown in Fig. 2. Friction effects between the support rollers and specimen are recuced by allowing the rollers to rotate daring the test. The Use of high hardness steel of the order of 40 HRC or more is recommended for the fixture end rollers to prevent indentation of the platen surfaces, 6.3 Tension Testing Clevis—A loading clevis suitable for testing C(T) specimens is shown in Fig. 3. Each leg of the specimen is held by such 2 clevis and losded through pins, in order to allow rolation of the specimen during testing. To provide rolling contact between the loading pins and the clevis holes. these holes are produced with small flats on the loading surfaces. Other clevis designs may be used if it can be demonstrated that they will accomplish the same result as the design shown, Clevises and pins should be fabricated from steels of suficient strength and hardness (greater than 40 HRC) to elastically resist indentation forces. The eriticel tolerances and suggested proportions of the clevis and pins are given in Fig. 3. These proportions are based on specimens having W/B 2 for B> 12.7 mm 0S in.) and WR = 4 for B=12.7 mm (05 in.) If « 1930-MPa (280 000-psi) yield strength maraging steel is used for the clevis and pins, adequate strength will be obtained. If lower strength grip materiel is used, or if substan- Sally larger specimens are required at a given o/E ratio, then teavier grips will be required. As indicated in Fig. 3, the clevis ‘comers may be cut off sufficiently to accommodate seating of the clip gage in specimens less than 9.5 mm (0.375 in.) thick. s Pw Dik, Feit rn oun 8 PLACEMENT wnt fa be ote : ae ee Ce Sees ROLLER PIN DETAIL [Nore 1_Roller gine and specimen coatact suface of loaing ram must be parallel to each other within 0.002W, Nove 2 010in ~ 254 mm: O15 in = 381 mm.

Record the average of these two readings as W. Also measure (ro - r) at four positions, rwo as close as possible to the intersection of the inside radius and the machined flat surfaces, and two at approximately one half the circumferential distance between the machined flat surfaces and the crack plane. If any of these Four mezsurements differ from Wby more than 10 % discard or rework the specimen. Next, measure to the nearest 0.025 mm (0.001 in) oF to the nearest 1%, whichever is greater, the distance in the crack plane between the chord that connects the ‘wo machined flat surfaces and the outer radius of the speci- smen, This measurement should be performed on both sides of @h E1200 the «pecimen referencing cach flat machined surface.

Calcu- late the original (fatigue) crack length, a,, and the final physical crack length, a, (which includes the tear length and SZW), as follows: average the two near-surface measurements, add this result to the remaining seven crack length measure iments, and averag> this total Iength by dividing by eight (cee 9.4 for crack goomeary validity criteria) The individual crack Jeugih measurements should be accurate to within the nearest 0.63 mm (0.001 in.). 8.95.1 Special Requirement for A(B) Specimen—An addi- tional special procedure is necessary for the arc-shaped bend specimen due to its curvature as illustrated in Fig. 11. length measurement, m, made from a reference point adjacent to the stack mouth i 4 point oa the crack front will be greater than the comesponding distance from the virtual point of imersec- tion besween the crack plane and the inside circumicnence of “he specimen (see Fig. 11). The error, e, may be computed from -ne following expression: ® = 9a! © If the relative emor e/m <0.01, then record m as the crack length. Otherwise. ¢ should be subtracted from m and the result recorded as the crack length. 9. Analysis of Experimental Data 9.1 Assessment of Force/Clip Gage Displacement Records—Tae applied force-displacement record obtained froma fracture test on a notched specimen will usually be one of the five types shown in Fig. 1. 9.11 In the case of a smooth continuous record in which the ‘applied force rises with increasing displacement up to the onset of unstable britle crack extension or pop-in, and where no Significant slow stable crack growth bas occurred (see 3.2 and Fig. la and Fig. 1b), the critical CTOD, 8, shall be determined from the foree and plastic componeat of clip gage displace- ‘ment, vj, comesponding to the points P_ and v._ If failure occurs ‘lose to the linear range, apply the procedure of Test Method 309 to test whether a valid X;, measurement can be made. 9.1.2 In the event that significant slow stable crack exten- ‘son (see 3.2) precedes either unstable brittle crack extension or Pop-in, or a maximum force plaicau oscars, the force- Sisplacement carves will be of the types shown in Fig. 1c, Fig. 1d, and Fig. Le, respectively.
