The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 10275 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 164, Mechanical testing of metals, Subcommittee SC 2, Ductility testing. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10275:1993), which has been technically revised.

In this new International Standard, the elastic strain is subtracted from the total strain for calculation of the true strain, which is now referred to as “true plastic strain”.

The method is valid only for that part of the stress-strain curve in the plastic range where the curve is continuous and monotonic (see 7.4). In the case of materials with a serrated stress-strain curve in the work hardening range (materials which show the Portevin-Le Chatelier effect, e.g. AlMg-alloys) the automatic determination (linear regression of the logarithm true stress vs. the logarithm true plastic strain, see 7.7) should be used to give reproducible results. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

NOTE 2 1 MPa = 1 N/mm2. 3.2 The tensile strain hardening exponent n is defined as the exponent of the true plastic strain in the mathematical equation relating the true stress to the true plastic strain (during uniaxial application of a force). This equation can be taken as follows: nCσ ε=× (1) 3.3 This equation can be transformed into a logarithmic one as follows: ln ln lnCnσ ε=+ (2) The strain hardening exponent in the logarithmic system of coordinates is defined as the slope of the corresponding straight line.

The tensile strain hardening exponent n is calculated either by considering a portion of the stress-strain curve in the plastic region, or by considering the whole uniform plastic strain region. 5 Test equipment 5.1 Tensile testing machine, verified and calibrated in accordance with ISO 7500-1:2004 and of class 1 or better. The method of gripping the test piece shall conform to the requirements of ISO 6892. 5.2 Extensometer, of class 2 or better (class 1 in the event of determination of the plastic strain ratio r, see ISO 10113) in accordance with ISO 9513:1999, for measuring changes in the gauge length. 5.3 Dimension-measuring equipment, capable of measuring the width and thickness of the parallel-sided section of the test piece to within the tolerances specified for these dimensions in ISO 6892. 6 Test pieces 6.1 Sampling to obtain test pieces shall be in accordance with the requirements of the relevant product standard or, if not specified therein, by agreement. Machining tolerances, tolerances on shape, and the marking shall be as specified in ISO 6892. 6.2 In the event of the plastic strain ratio r and the tensile strain hardening exponent n being determined simultaneously, the conditions of ISO 10113 shall apply. 6.3 The thickness of the test piece shall be that of the full sheet, unless otherwise specified. 6.4 The surface of the test piece shall not be damaged (by scratches, etc.). 7 Procedure 7.1 In general, the test shall be carried out at ambient temperature, i.e. between 10 °C and 35 °C. Tests carried out under controlled conditions, where required, shall be made at a temperature of (23 ± 5)°C. 7.2 The test piece shall be mounted in the tensile testing machine (see 5.1) so that the force can be applied axially in accordance with ISO 6892. 7.3 In the plastic range, the strain rate of parallel length shall not exceed 0,008 s−1, unless otherwise specified in the relevant standard. This rate shall be kept constant during the time interval over which the tensile strain hardening exponent is determined. If a proof strength or the yield strength is determined during the same tensile test, the strain rate for this determination shall be as defined in ISO 6892. 7.4 When n is determined over the whole uniform plastic strain range, the upper limit for these data points shall be immediately prior to the strain at which the maximum force occurs. For materials with homogenous deformation behaviour (i.e. materials without upper and/or lower yield strength), the lower limit of the range over which n is determined shall not be lower than a point after which the final testing rate used for determining Rmhas been achieved (see Figure 1). For the materials exhibiting yield point phenomena (upper and/or lower yield strengths), the lower limit shall not be lower than the start of uniform work hardening and after which the final testing rate used for determining Rmhas been achieved (see Figures 2 and 3).
