ASTM E8, Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing of Metallic Materials covers the tensile testing of metallic materials in any form at room temperature, specifically methods for determining yield strength, yield point elongation, tensile strength, elongation, and area reduction.
ASTM E8 describes the tensile testing of metals such as steel or metal alloys. This test determines important mechanical properties such as yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, elongation and area reduction. E8 tensile tests determine the ductility and strength of various metals when the materials are subjected to uniaxial tensile stresses. Such information is important for alloy development, design, quality control and comparison of different sets of metals.
An electro-mechanical or hydraulic universal testing machine equipped with appropriate specimen grips, extensometer and software capable of strain rate control and recording stress-strain data is required to perform this test.
Tensile tests determine the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. This information can be helpful in comparing materials, developing new alloys, for quality control, supporting structural design, and acceptance testing for commercial shipments.
Grip and face selection is very important to obtain accurate results. Sample alignment is key to avoid side-loading or bending moments. EUROLAB's extensive experience in testing composites that are more sensitive to alignment ensures control of this critical parameter in testing metallic materials.
ASTM E8/E8M measures the tensile properties of metallic materials in any form at ambient temperature between 10 and 38 degrees Celsius (50 to 100 degrees Fahrenheit). Although ASTM E8/E8M measures many different tensile properties, the most common are:
