Evaluation of Tensile Properties of Pressure Vessel Materials by Shear Punch Test Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

A shear punch test is a very useful small specimen test method for evaluating the mechanical properties of in-service components, in view of the requirements of small size sample material. This paper presents the results of shear punch tests on five grades of steels used in boiler construction, along with the correlation with yield stress and ultimate tensile stress obtained ASTM standard specimens. The design of the shear punch fixture and procedure to carry out the shear punch test is also highlighted.
