1、Designation:D 617 84(Reapproved 1998)An American National StandardStandard Test Method forPunching Quality of Phenolic Laminated Sheets1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D 617;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of
2、revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This test method cove
3、rs the determination of the punch-ing quality of phenolic laminated sheets18in.(3.2 mm)andunder in thickness.It involves the use of a standard punchingdie and standard punching practice to form punched specimensboth at room temperature,designated as cold punching,and atan elevated temperature of 135
4、C,designated as hot punching,and a standard system for rating the punched specimensproduced.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas the standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of th
5、e user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:D 229 Test Methods for Rigid Sheet and Plate MaterialsUsed for Electrical Insulation2D 785 Test Method for Ro

10、 specimen for the hot Rockwell hardness test shall be 1 in.(25 mm)square.6.Preparation of Apparatus6.1 The results obtained with this test method will dependupon the care taken in properly assembling the die as well asin the condition of the punch and die.It is recommended thata standard die set be
11、used in order to ensure proper alignmentof the punch and die at all times.Examine the cutting edges ofthe punches,as well as those of the die,for sharpness.If thesurfaces are not flat and if the edges are not sharp,it isadvisable to grind the surfaces of both the punch and die toensure good punching
