1、Designation:A770/A770M03(Reapproved 2018)Standard Specification forThrough-Thickness Tension Testing of Steel Plates forSpecial Applications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A770/A770M;the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or,in th
2、e case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S.Department of Defense.1.Scope1.1 This s
3、pecification2covers the procedures and accep-tance standards for the determination of reduction of area usinga tension test specimen whose axis is perpendicular to therolled surfaces of steel plates 1 in.25 mm and greater inthickness.The principal purpose of the testing is to provide ameasure of the
4、 resistance of a steel plate to lamellar tearing.(See Appendix X1.)1.2 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded as standard.Within the text,the SI units areshown in brackets.The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents;therefore,each system must be used
5、 inde-pendently of the other.Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with the specification.1.3 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound andSI units.However,unless the order specifies the applicable“M”specification designation(SI units),the material shall befurnis
6、hed to inch-pound units.1.4 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organizati

8、 meetend use requirements(see S1 through S5).3.1.2 Special requirements agreed upon between the manu-facturer and the purchaser.4.Tension Tests4.1 Number of Tests:4.1.1 Two tests shall be required from each plate-as-rolled,except for plates subjected to heat treatment by quenching andtempering.Two t
9、ests shall be required from each quenched-and-tempered plate.The tests shall be representative of theplate in its final condition.4.1.2 When plates are furnished by the manufacturer in anunheat-treated condition and qualified by heat-treated speci-mens(including normalized,normalized and tempered,an
10、dquenched and tempered),two tests shall be required from eachplate-as-rolled.NOTE1The term“plate-as-rolled”refers to the unit plate rolled froma slab or directly from an ingot.It does not refer to the condition of theplate.4.2 Location of Test CouponsTake one test coupon at eachend of each plate as
11、defined in 4.1.Take the test coupons fromthe center of the plate width.4.3 Orientation of Test SpecimensThe longitudinal axis ofthe reduced section of the test specimens shall be perpendicularto the rolled surface of the plate.4.4 Preparation of Test Specimens:4.4.1 Welded ProlongationsWhen required
12、,join weldedprolongations to the surface(s)of the plate being tested.Thejoining method used shall be one which results in a minimalheat-affected zone in the portion of the plate to be tested.Shielded metal arc,friction,stud,or electron-beam weldingmethods have proven to be suitable.4.4.2 Standard Te
