33. Alcoa Power and Propulsion Variation in Time to Fracture

34. Alcoa Power and Propulsion Conclusions Five of the six alloys evaluated at room temperature had at least one tensile property that is dependent on the speed of testing ASTM E21-05 Standard Test Methods for Elevated Tension Test of Metallic Materials –Section 9.6 addresses Strain Measurement and Strain Rate Tensile properties of materials at elevated temperature are affected by the rate of deformation A similar statement should be included in ASTM E8

35. Alcoa Power and Propulsion Recommendations Allow use of ASTM E-21-05 9.6.1.1 as an option or as a recommendation for room temperature testing –During yield strength determination, maintain the stain rate in the uniform section of the specimen at 0.005 ± 0.002 /min. After yield strength determination, increase the crosshead motion to 0.05 ± 0.01 times the adjusted length of the reduced section of the specimen per minute. Add an Appendix to ASTM E8 and E21 addressing speed of testing
