Причина отмены This practice establishes the requirements for determining offset yield strength (0.01 %, 0.02 %, and 0.05 % offset) at room temperature. It is intended for copper alloys in tempers commonly used for spring applications, and materials thicker than 0.010 in. (0.25 mm). The primary application of this practice is intended for flat strip materials that are used for springs; however, this practice can be used for other product forms, such as wire, rod, and bar.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee B05 on Copper and Copper Alloys, this practice was withdrawn in April 2019. This standard is being withdrawn without replacement due to its redundancy with Test Methods E8/E8M.

Значение и использование

5.1 This practice may be used for approximating a limiting design stress at room temperature and, in some cases, for approximating the range of elastic behavior. Elastic limit, or the greatest stress that a material is capable of sustaining without any permanent strain remaining upon complete release of the stress, is a more technically accurate design parameter; however, the elastic limit is extremely difficult to measure in routine testing. Caution should be used in applying such values to predict the behavior of flat or wire springs in bending, torsion or other stress modes, or at temperatures other than that at which the determination is made.
