This document specifies the conditions for conducting axial, constant-amplitude, force-controlled, fatigue tests at ambient, elevated, and low temperature on metallic specimens, without deliberately introduced stress concentrations. The object of testing while employing this document is to provide fatigue information, such as the relation between applied stress and number of cycles to failure for a given material condition, such as hardness and microstructure, at various stress ratios. While the form, preparation and testing of specimens of circular and rectangular cross-section are described, component testing and other specialized forms of testing are not included in this document. NOTE 1 Fatigue tests on notched specimens are not covered by this document since the shape and size of notched test pieces have not been standardized. However, fatigue-test procedures described in this document can be applied to fatigue tests of such notched specimens. NOTE 2 Throughout this document, the engineering stress is employed. Engineering stress is defined as the quotient of the axially applied force to the cross-sectional area of the test specimen, S = Force/Area, at the test temperature.

This part of ISO 14577 specifies the method of dynamic linear elastic instrumented indentation test for determination of indentation hardness and indentation modulus of materials showing elasticplastic behaviour when oscillatory force or displacement is applied to the indenter while the load or displacement is held constant at a prescribed target value or while the indenter is continuously loaded to a prescribed target load or target depth.

This document specifies the additional technical delivery conditions for castings made from all cast iron materials. This document applies to iron castings produced in sand or permanent moulds or by centrifugal casting, continuous casting or investment casting.

This document defines important terms used in the heat treatment of ferrous materials.

Annex A provides an alphabetical list of terms defined in this document, as well as their equivalents in French, German, Russian, Chinese and Japanese.

Table 1 shows the various iron-carbon (Fe-C) phases.

This part of ISO 148 specifies the Charpy (V-notch and U-notch) pendulum impact test method for determining the energy absorbed in an impact test of metallic materials. This part of ISO 148 does not cover instrumented impact testing, which is specified in ISO 14556[1]. Annexes B and C are based on ASTM E23[2] and are used with the permission of ASTM International, 100 Barr Harbor Drive, P.O. Box C700, West Conshohocken, PA 19428-2959, USA.

This part of ISO 148 covers the verification of pendulum-type impact testing machines, in terms of their constructional elements, their overall performance and the accuracy of the results they produce. It is applicable to machines with 2 mm or 8 mm strikers used for pendulum impact tests performed in accordance with ISO 148-1. It can be applied to pendulum impact testing machines of various capacities and of different design. Impact machines used for industrial, general or research laboratory testing of metallic materials in accordance with this part of ISO 148 are referred to as industrial machines. Those with more stringent requirements are referred to as reference machines. Specifications for the verification of reference machines are found in ISO 148-3. This part of ISO 148 describes two methods of verification. a) The direct method, which is static in nature, involves measurement of the critical parts of the machine to ensure that it meets the requirements of this part of ISO 148. Instruments used for the verification and calibration are traceable to national or international standards. b) The indirect method, which is dynamic in nature, uses certified reference test pieces to verify points on the measuring scale for absorbed energy. The requirements for the certified reference test pieces are found in ISO 148-3. A pendulum impact testing machine is not in compliance with this part of ISO 148 until it has been verified by both the direct and indirect methods and meets the requirements of Clause 6 and Clause 7. This part of ISO 148 describes how to assess the different components of the total energy absorbed in fracturing a test piece. This total absorbed energy consists of — the energy needed to fracture the test piece itself, and — the internal energy losses of the pendulum impact testing machine performing the first half-cycle swing from the initial position. NOTE Internal energy losses are due to the following: — air resistance, friction of the bearings of the rotation axis and of the indicating pointer of the machine which can be determined by the direct method (see 6.4.5); — shock of the foundation, vibration of the frame and pendulum for which no suitable measuring methods and apparatus have been developed.

This part of ISO 148 specifies the requirements, preparation and methods for qualifying certified reference test pieces used for the indirect verification of pendulum impact testing machines in accordance with ISO 148-2. It specifies notched test pieces with nominal dimensions identical to those specified in ISO 148-1; however, the tolerances are more stringent. NOTE 1 The chemical composition or heat treatment, or both, are varied according to the energy level desired. NOTE 2 Certified reference test pieces are qualified on reference pendulum impact testing machines which are also described in this part of ISO 148.
