Developed by the American Testing and Materials Authority (ASTM), the ASTM A 370 standard is a test standard that covers the mechanical test definitions and processes of steel products such as forged and cast steels, stainless steels and related alloys. This standard covers stress, bending, stiffness and impact tests. The full name of the standard is as follows: ASTM A 370 Standard test methods and definitions for mechanical testing of steel products.
Various mechanical tests described under this standard are used to determine the required properties in the product specifications.
The main tests included in these standard descriptions are: tension test, bending test, hardness test, Brinell hardness method, Rockwell hardness method, folding test and impact test.
Certain production methods, such as bending, shaping and welding, or processes involving heating affect the properties of the material under test. For this reason, the product specifications cover the manufacturing phase where the mechanical test will be carried out. The properties determined by testing before production may not have to represent the product completely after the production is completed.
ASTM A370 tensile tests provide information on the strength and ductility of materials under uniaxial tensile stresses. From fragile wires to steel, lead and copper, to steel, titanium and aluminum alloys, manufacturers must test their products and materials to meet the quality specifications they have announced and meet the required industry standards.
Companies producing metal must make sure that they have the required strength and ductility to ensure that raw materials and products meet certain specifications. For this, reliable data such as ultimate tensile strength, percent elongation, offset yield strength and flexibility module are required. Therefore, with the tests performed within the scope of ASTM A 370 standard, businesses provide time and cost advantages.
