ISO 10113: Metallic Materials - Sheet and Strip - Determination of Plastic Strain Ratio

Test Method Summary

This special tensile testing method per ISO 10113, is used to determine the plastic strain ratio of flat metallic sheet and strip products.

Uniaxial tensile force is applied to rectangular material specimens with reduced parallel sections or to parallel stripe rectangular specimens and the length and width changes are measured. For the majority of thin sheet metals, the plastic strain ratio can be calculated by the ratio of the true plastic width strain to the true plastic thickness strain up to the maximum applied force, assuming constant volume.

Solutions for ISO 10113 typically include these types of components:

Load Frame Options

MTS offers electromechanical Criterion® and Exceed® universal test systems and dynamic servohydraulic Landmark® test systems that are ideal for performing accurate and repeatable monotonic tensile testing of metallic materials per ISO 10113.

MTS Criterion universal testing systems are engineered to support the needs of advanced Research & Development. MTS Exceed universal testing systems are best suited for Quality Control testing by delivering the reliable performance needed to meet the uptime demands of high-volume production environments. Due to the large variety of metals and specimen dimensions that can be tested per ISO 10113, the required force capacities can differ significantly. MTS offers frame models that address the smaller force requirements for testing thin-sheet specimens up to high-force requirements for testing solid cylindric specimens with a large diameter.

The MTS Criterion and the MTS Exceed universal testing machines range from tabletop to floor-standing electromechanical models with force ratings of up to 600 kN / 135 kip. Many of the models have dual-zone test spaces to reduce set-up times if you frequently change test requirements.

The MTS Landmark dynamic servohydraulic test system with its superior stiffness and alignment capabilities, is an ideal choice if additional fatigue and fracture testing capabilities are required. Systems are available in highly configurable floor-standing and tabletop models with force ratings from 5 kN / 1 kip to 500 kN / 110 kip.

As an alternative to a new load frame, you can replace outdated controls / hydraulics of existing MTS or another manufacturer’s electromechanical, servohydraulic or custom test systems, including: **Instron®, **Zwick®, **Tinius Olsen™, **SATEC®, **Baldwin® and more with an MTS ReNew™ Upgrade.

Extensometry Options

ISO 10113 requires that extensometers conform to ISO 9513. MTS offers a variety of extensometer types, ranging from clip-on, automatic to non-contacting optical and video extensometers, that meet or exceed requirements for calibration according to ISO 9513 Class 0.5 and ASTM E83 Class B1 standards. Factors like the specimen material, shape and dimension, the requirements for test efficiency and budget need to be considered when choosing the appropriate strain measurement solution.
